Technology: A driving force for ESG in real assets
24 Aug 2023 @ Melbourne
ANREV Young Professionals Australia is pleased to invite you to join an afternoon briefing in Melbourne on 24 August.
At this briefing you will hear how deployment of technology will drive ESG outcomes for real assets. Across the globe, we have experienced unprecedented climate events in recent years – from heatwaves in Europe, to floods in Asia and the Pacific, rising temperatures in Africa and wildfires across the Americas. Social and economic challenges also persist, with multiple flow-on impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, international conflicts, famines, and financial volatility posing threats to societal cohesion.
Real estate and infrastructure have a critical role to play in our responses to these challenges – whether it be climate resilient and low-carbon properties, nature-positive precincts, or accessible and inclusive housing. What we see today, however, is only the tip of the iceberg in terms of technology adoption for ESG outcomes.
This session will touch on the foundational research, the framework built by the collaboration and case studies of technology deployment for ESG outcomes.
This event will conclude with networking drinks.
