Learn More Verdani 2020 Insights Reflecting on our work over the last 7 years, in a new 2020 Insights series, Verdani shares top trends that we are seeing across the sustainable real estate industry. The first "Top 3" trends are the following:  Expanded ESG Impact: As green buildings outperform the rest of the market, investors are demanding better performance from their buildings and portfolios. Real estate companies need to scale their sustainability and resilience efforts to show they are demonstrating ESG action with ESG criteria woven throughout whole business strategies.     Improved Data: Data collection and tracking is increasingly accurate and efficient, which helps owners better understand energy consumption and helps them take action to make their buildings more efficient. Some factors include new benchmarking laws that result in consumption data being more accessible because they require utilities to share whole building data with building owners.  Greater Transparency: We have seen greater transparency across the real estate industry through ESG reporting and financial disclosures. Real estate investors are demanding more insight into asset level and portfolio level performance as sophisticated assessment and reporting standards become required, such as GRESB, GRI, CDP, UNPRI, DJSI and MSCI, among others.
