Course Description
Proof over politics, ESG is good for the planet and great for properties. Learn environmental factors that drive sustainability and operational efficiencies. Explore ways to reduce costs in energy consumption, water usage, waste management, and other impacts. Learn about social factors that can heighten your business operation’s impact on people. Enhance tenant health and wellness, community engagement, DEI, supply chain management, and more. Good governance practices increase your accountability and transparency in business operations. This leads to better internal controls, policies, and ethical practices.
When you combine the best practices in ESG, you ensure your company and properties are running in alignment with your mission and values—both now and for the future. You’re also enhancing your team, our planet, and ultimately your profitability.
