Can’t Achieve Net Zero Without Tenant Buy-In: Owner/Occupier Collaboration for Whole Building Decarbonization

With both tenants and owners trending toward establishing net zero goals, collaborating isn't always as easy as it may seem. Namely, split incentives instill doubt in which party benefits from investments in sustainability and energy conservation measures. Add differing goals, barriers to communication, and ever-changing climate tech solutions, it can get tricky to find common ground much less work together to achieve whole building net zero. In this session, we will uncover the strong business for tenant and owner alignment on net zero goals. Panelists will cover topics including increasing data completeness, driving property value, meeting tenant demand, and addressing the "social" in ESG. Join industry leaders, sustainability experts, and forward-thinking companies to explore practical approaches for collaboration techniques between owners and landlords. Discover the benefits of green leases, shared sustainability goals, and integrated management practices that enhance environmental performance. Whether you're a building owner, a corporate tenant, or a sustainability professional, this session will provide valuable insights and actionable strategies to help you play a pivotal role in the global decarbonization movement.
