As investors have grown increasingly focused on impact investing, the real estate community has steadily expanded its efforts to demonstrate a commitment to creating portfolios that positively impact our society. The Covid-19 pandemic has opened dialogue about the need to focus on health.

There is a growing demand for reliable metrics that define the role of health within the ESG conversation and we are committed to supporting the movement by driving the adoption of health metrics based on public health data.

Co-authored by the Center for Active Design, United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative and BentallGreenOak, the study quantifies for the first time the extent to which the industry is focusing on health and wellness in ESG investment strategies. The authors will share insights from an international sampling of real estate investors representing USD $5.75 trillion total AUM.

The Center for Active Design (CfAD), BentallGreenOak (BGO) and the United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI) are proud to announce the publication of A New Investor Consensus: The Rising Demand for Healthy Buildings —the largest health and wellness study of global real estate investors ever conducted.
