Verdani Partners Launches Partner Program With Key Technology, Data, Technical, and Implementation Collaborators

Client-first, vendor-non-exclusive program helps real estate owners and investors access specialized partner capabilities across data, reporting, technical execution, decarbonization, renewable energy procurement, and implementation readiness.

SAN DIEGO, CA — July 13, 2026 — Today, Verdani Partners announced the launch of the Verdani Partner Program, a client-first, vendor-non-exclusive framework for collaborating with trusted technology, data, technical, and implementation partners to help real estate clients move from strategy to action with greater clarity, efficiency, and impact.

As sustainability reporting, building performance requirements, investor expectations, decarbonization priorities, renewable energy decisions, capital planning needs, and asset-level implementation priorities continue to evolve, real estate owners and investors are navigating a more complex operating environment.

The Verdani Partner Program is designed to help clients access specialized capabilities while maintaining Verdani’s client-led advisory model, coordinated delivery oversight, and clear point of accountability. Through the Program, Verdani works with select partners where there is strong alignment between partner capabilities, Verdani’s services, and the needs of a specific client engagement.

Verdani remains vendor-non-exclusive and evaluates partner solutions based on quality, fit, responsiveness, technical depth, market relevance, and alignment with each client’s portfolio needs and long-term business priorities.

“Real estate owners and investors are navigating a more complex performance landscape shaped by data quality, reporting demands, regulation, decarbonization, resilience, and asset-level implementation,” said Daniele Horton, Founder & CEO of Verdani Partners. “The Verdani Partner Program was created to help clients access specialized capabilities through a client-led, vendor-non-exclusive advisory model. By pairing Verdani’s strategic guidance with trusted partner expertise, we can help clients move from portfolio goals to practical action, stronger decisions, and measurable progress.”


Why Verdani Created the Partner Program

No single platform, vendor, or service provider can address every client need in every context.

The Verdani Partner Program was created to reduce friction for clients by helping identify when partner support is useful, which specialized capabilities fit the engagement, and how those resources should be coordinated within a broader sustainability strategy.

By connecting partner capabilities with Verdani’s advisory leadership, the program helps clients move more effectively from portfolio goals and technical inputs to practical next steps, asset-level action, and measurable progress.


Launch Partners

Verdani is pleased to highlight the following partners as part of the Verdani Partner Program launch:

Transparent Energy supports off-site renewable energy procurement strategy, market intelligence, and opportunity analysis. Through our long-standing collaboration, including Verdani’s REMI™ (Renewable Energy Market Impact) tool, clients can evaluate regional energy markets, emissions profiles, procurement pathways, and cost/emissions trade-offs. Transparent Energy also helps identify cost-saving opportunities in traditional energy procurement that can support broader sustainability initiatives.

Nova Group, GBC supports technical execution across building performance standards, energy audits, retro-commissioning (e.g., EBEWE in Los Angeles and LL97 in New York City), energy management plans, operations and maintenance planning, data-heavy analysis, and engineering support. Through this collaboration, Verdani and Nova Group can help clients move from regulatory exposure analysis and sustainability strategy into practical compliance planning and technical implementation support.

Scaler is an AI-native sustainability data platform powering data collection and management, performance analytics, reporting workflows, and portfolio- and asset-level insights that drive decarbonization cap-ex planning. Through the Verdani-Scaler collaboration, clients strengthen sustainability data quality, streamline reporting, and connect that data to better informed portfolio decisions and performance improvement.

Soapbox is an expert-in-the-loop AI platform deploying managed agents trained in decarbonization, capital planning, underwriting, diligence, and much more. Through this collaboration, Verdani and Soapbox help clients move from portfolio-level decarbonization goals to more actionable, budget-informed planning and underwriting.

Measurabl supports sustainability data management, reporting, and action planning. Verdani is a member of the Measurabl Partner Network, helping customers connect sustainability data with better decisions, while Measurabl is a launch partner in the Verdani Partner Program, supporting Verdani clients with a high-quality data foundation to understand performance, track progress, and take action.


How the Program Supports Clients

Through the Partner Program, Verdani can help clients move more efficiently across common sustainability program needs, including:

  • Strengthening ESG data quality and reporting workflows

  • Translating platform data into strategy, disclosure readiness, and performance improvement

  • Assessing building performance standards exposure and compliance pathways

  • Coordinating energy audits, technical analysis, and implementation planning

  • Evaluating decarbonization pathways, retrofit opportunities, and capital planning priorities

  • Assessing off-site renewable energy procurement options across markets

  • Connecting portfolio-level sustainability goals with asset-level action

  • Supporting stakeholder communication and reporting

The program is designed to reduce friction for clients by helping align the right partner capabilities with the right engagement needs, while maintaining Verdani’s advisory oversight and clear point of accountability.


Verdani’s Partner Program Approach

Verdani’s Partner Program reflects a client-first model for connecting advisory strategy with specialized partner capabilities. The Program is not designed around exclusivity or one-size-fits-all recommendations; instead, Verdani evaluates partner involvement based on the specific needs of each client, portfolio, platform, timeline, regulatory context, and implementation pathway.

Verdani’s role is to help clients determine when partner support is useful, which partner capabilities are the best fit, how those capabilities should be coordinated, and how technical inputs connect back to broader sustainability strategy and business priorities.

This approach allows clients to access specialized support while maintaining Verdani’s client-led advisory model, coordinated delivery oversight, and clear point of accountability.


Moving from Strategy to Action

The launch of the Verdani Partner Program reflects the continued maturation of real estate sustainability work. As clients face more complex data, reporting, regulatory, capital planning, and performance requirements, success increasingly depends on the ability to connect strategy, technology, technical expertise, and implementation support.

As explored in Verdani’s recent article, Why Sustainability Strategies Stall and How Effective Asset-Level Implementation Drives Value, many sustainability initiatives fall short not because organizations lack ambition, but because they lack a coordinated approach to turning portfolio strategies into asset-level action. The Verdani Partner Program helps bridge that implementation gap by connecting clients with specialized capabilities that complement Verdani’s advisory leadership and support practical execution across the portfolio.

By pairing Verdani’s advisory expertise with specialized partner capabilities, Verdani helps clients navigate complexity, make better-informed decisions, and move more effectively from planning to measurable progress.
