What This Means in Terms of ESG

One third of professionally managed assets, representing nearly $30 trillion in value, are subject to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria. But what does that mean for the real estate assets WE manage? Attend our first in-person luncheon of the year as we look to answer:

- How to leverage ESG goals to be more proactive, productive, and profitable.
