JLL. The commercial case for making buildings more sustainable

Creating a more sustainable and resilient future requires existing buildings to undergo marked transformation in their infrastructure and operations.

Yet in today’s tough economic environment, securing the internal buy-in and investment needed to make buildings more sustainable can be a difficult task. Investment in real estate is down and fundraising is more challenging. Despite the shorter-term hurdles, developing and implementing clear decarbonization and resilience strategies now is the smart decision for longer-term performance.

Despite the current economic headwinds, developing and implementing clear decarbonization and resilience strategies now is the smart decision for longer-term performance:

Mounting costs from climate risks, including heatwaves, flooding, storms and droughts, are increasingly impacting urban areas – with big implications for building owners.
Rising demand for sustainable buildings and spaces that support corporates’ low carbon goals and meet employees’ rising expectations will change lease markets at scale.
More restrictive finance and tougher regulation are coming down the line. Companies face more stringent building performance standards and corporate disclosure mandates.
