ESG criteria in real estate

Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations have become increasingly important across the real estate sector. Yet, awareness regarding the three ESG aspects seems to differ across “E”, “S”, and “G”. Since buildings are considered as one of the key factors in climate protection, unsurprisingly, there is often greater emphasis on the “E”. Social as well as governance elements tend to receive less attention in the public debate. However, it turns out that both “S” and “G” are also of particular relevance for real estate companies.
