The environment is starting to recover with remarkable speed, and the way in which we are now using space has prompted people to ask how we can operate the built environment more sustainably and safely.
The panel discussed the impact of ESG on the real estate industry and looking at:

What does best practice for dealing with ESG look like?
How does ESG fit within  investment / management philosophy?
