Sustainable real estate advisory

The real estate sector faces increasing demands to significantly change its modus operandi and decarbonise. Nearly 40% of all carbon dioxide emissions are created by the industry, of which approximately 70% of the gases produced by building operations, and the remaining 30% deriving from construction work. Given the scale of change needed, there is sometimes an air of pessimism, particularly from certain players who find it difficult to reconcile their undeniable expertise in their business with their knowledge in the separate discipline of ESG.

At Forvis Mazars, we are committed to helping our clients in their sustainability transition, from the initial point of contact, to setting up and defining their implementation strategy in a goal to help them generate greater value.
