Carbon Footprint
Carbon Footprint
Real estate generates 42% of global emissions - 27% operational and 15% from materials - making buildings the top decarbonization opportunity.
Waste
Waste
Construction and demolition generate around 30% of global solid waste. In urban markets, concrete, masonry and steel make up most building debris, putting heavy pressure on landfills and recycling systems.
Energy Use
Energy Use
The real estate sector consumes 31% of global energy and will account for 60% of electricity demand growth by 2026, driven by data centers, electrification and rising cooling needs.
Energy-efficient commercial properties command a 13% - 20% premium over traditional buildings, making sustainability the smartest investment in real estate.
Why It’s the Need of the Hour?
The real estate sector sits at the heart of the global sustainability challenge, responsible for nearly 40% of greenhouse gas emissions, a third of global energy use and a major share of construction waste. Buildings are no longer just static assets - they are long-term environmental liabilities or leadership opportunities. Regulators, investors and tenants now demand measurable, verifiable performance over simple promises. The future belongs to those who can quantify impact, boost efficiency and prove that growth and responsibility can go hand in hand.
Because in real estate, what you build today defines what survives tomorrow. Our 360° Environmental Footprint uncovers your true impact and our Green Strategy Roadmap transforms insight into decisive, measurable action - ensuring your developments stand for both enduring value and radical responsibility.
