As proud partners of Net Zero Buildings Week (NZBW) New Buildings Institute, we are excited to invite you to explore our new Corporate Sustainability Strategies Guidance Report, designed to help businesses, particularly in the real estate industry, navigate the path toward sustainable operations. ?? In line with NZBW's mission to foster collaboration and innovation for net-zero buildings, our guidance report provides a practical template for integrating corporate sustainability practices. With the increasing pressure from regulations, investor and occupant demands, and the urgency of addressing climate change, it's more crucial than ever for real estate companies to establish a clear approach to sustainability and ESG. However, many companies struggle without a standardized order of operations for these initiatives. This is where our report steps in—offering a customizable framework that empowers businesses to integrate sustainability at every level. Whether you're looking to reduce carbon footprints, meet regulatory requirements, or enhance investor and occupant trust, our guidance provides the foundation you need. Although developed with the real estate industry in mind, the principles and processes are relevant for businesses across sectors. We invite you to read our guidance report and discover how it can help you take actionable steps toward a more sustainable future. Together, we can drive the real estate industry's transformation toward net-zero and beyond.: https://lnkd.in/gTYhwuAE #ZeroEmissions #NetZeroBuildingsWeek #NetZero #Decarbonize #NetZerobuildings #DecarbonizeBuildings

Verdani is proud to sponsor GRESB's upcoming ???????????????? ???????????????? ?????????event in Los Angeles on Thursday, October 17th.

?????????????? ???? ?????? ???????????? ???????????????????????? - here are some ways that you can help conserve energy, maximize efficiency, and reduce your footprint: ???????????? ?????????????????????? ?????????? ????????????????? Avoid phantom power consumption by shutting down unneeded appliances. Even in “sleep mode,” office equipment uses power. Simple solution—unplug unneeded appliances or switch off central power strips to save energy and money. Adjust the thermostat to find the sweet spot between comfort and savings. The interior space does not need to be an icebox or a sauna, especially while occupants are out—so shut down the AC when away and adjust the temperature gradually to avoid unnecessary spikes in energy consumption and utility spend.? ? ???????????????????? ???????????????????? ?????????? ?????????????????? Make smart energy choices when shopping for home and office appliances. Appliances recognized as ENERGY STAR Most Efficient 2024 are anywhere from 10-80% more efficient than conventional models, helping save energy and money over the long term.?? LED lights are brighter and less energy intensive than traditional models. Providing quick return on investment (ROI) and safer working conditions, LED lighting should be the go-to standard for lighting retrofits and new buildouts. ? ? ???????????????????? ???????????????????? ???? ???????????? ?????????????? ???????? ????????????????????? Over 12% of global electricity generation came from wind and solar in 2022, a nearly 80% increase since 2001. This surge has expanded customer options for clean energy. Check your utility's website for available renewable energy programs. Creative energy procurement options exist outside of local utility plans. If on-site energy systems are infeasible, virtual power purchase agreements (VPPAs) present another vehicle to take advantage of off-site renewable energy generation. Discover available options to use VPPAs for advancing energy and sustainability objectives.

The commercial real estate (CRE) sector is confronting a new climate reality: achieving net zero requires navigating the complexities of scope 3 emissions. As the importance of scope 3 emissions grows, the real estate industry is steadily developing tools and initiatives to help companies set targets, measure, and report these complex emissions more effectively. The latest article from Verdani can help companies better understand scope 3 emissions in CRE, how to identify and measure these emissions for reporting, and how they fit into broader corporate sustainability strategies.
