Leveraging the Uses of Big Data
ESG data collection is not an end to itself, and it won´t mitigate the imminent climate crisis.
We need more optimization and less analysis in our daily work managing real assets. And we need to start now, not in 5 years. However, it is crucial to recognize the processual and competence gaps that are omnipresent today to get there. Let´s face the fact that not everyone is a data scientist or an engineer, and still, budgets need to be allocated appropriately because today´s sustainability is tomorrow´s return. Can data help to augment decision-making in ESG asset management? And what role could gamification play in all this? Let´s discuss!

Net Zero Agenda & Industry Collaboration
How to create future real estate winners?
As businesses, investors and governments explore the transition to a net-zero world, measuring and managing climate risk has become an ever-more important tenet of the institutional investment process. Real estate investors need to look at how they are considering this transition across the investment process from due diligence to portfolio management as well as performance and reporting.
