About the session
A sustainability strategy is no longer a siloed marker of commitment to a greener future, it is intrinsically linked to economic growth. Embodied carbon sustainability goals are guiding decision-making across the economic spectrum, and failure to acknowledge this shift increases the risk of significant impact on capital values and optimized income. In this session, Robbie Epsom, EMEA Head of Sustainability at CBRE Investment Management, will talk to One Click LCA's CEO, Panu Pasanen, about making the economic case for embodied carbon consideration in real assets investment, supported by academic research and evidence from their $144 billion global real assets portfolio.
