Allianz Real Estate, the dedicated real estate investment manager within the Allianz Group and one of the world’s largest investors in real estate, is targeting a reduction in carbon emissions from its global portfolio of 25% by 2025. The decrease is part of the firm’s wide-ranging and extensive global sustainability program initiated in 2019 and supports Allianz Real Estate’s overall aim to be carbon net-zero by 2050. “We consider it as highest priority to reduce the carbon footprint of all our assets and fight global warming. A reduction of emissions in the real estate sector – which accounts for approximately 40% of global greenhouse gas emissions – will have a considerable impact on global decarbonization. Our position, size and influence allows Allianz Real Estate to lead by example. As such, we have developed one of the most ambitious and comprehensive sustainability and ESG transformation programs in the real estate sector,” said Dr. Raphael Mertens, Chief Risk Officer at Allianz Real Estate.

"There's a lot of pressure at the municipal level," says Henry Chamberlain, president and chief operating officer of BOMA International. "But our focus has always been on making the business case for sustainability, in all of its forms." He notes that focus is often at offs with broad-brush city and state mandates that can levy heavy taxes or fines for compliance failures. The irony is that "that money could be better spent invested in the building infrastructures that would solve the problem [of decarbonization]." "We all need to embrace the fact that different properties need to take different pathways to get there." from Buildings Magazine | buildings.com/commercial-real-estate/article/20485215/its-all-hands-on-deck-as-environmental-mandates-increase (emphasis ours)! ...

...but don't continue to take our word for it, hear from an expert: " 'Manual, trailing data processes were historically sufficient to manage commercial real estate investments and operations.' But during the pandemic, property managers had to suddenly deal with immediate challenges, like buildings that were running at a 20-percent occupancy level. Multifamily owners needed data on tenant movements and rent analysis. Investment and asset managers, says Frank Spadafora, real estate principal at DealCloud by Intapp, 'had little to no real-time data to inform how COVID-19 was going to impact their portfolio.' " 'It highlighted that the outcomes we were trying to achieve lacked the data that we needed to monitor and measure,' he says. 'It distilled [data] down into what’s really essential for effective and timely decision making. When [companies] started looking for this data, they realized that their systems and information were often fragmented and disconnected, and they needed a centralized view of this firmwide intelligence. That’s where this fundamental challenge in real estate, to capture and harness this information, was highlighted.'
