SUSTAINABILITY IN REAL ESTATE SECTOR: CIRCULAR ECONOMY

More and more real estate developers (and investors) are asking themselves how to create long-term value by creating more sustainable buildings and districts. To do so, they need to address sustainability in their projects in an integrated and both comprehensive and focused way: Developing, operationalizing and communicating strategic sustainability objectives is essential to create long-term value while also reducing costs and increasing quality of life.

In this webinar we are talking about our experiences in Sweden and Austria in the context of the international real estate business. Examples ranging from criteria for sustainable real estate investors to technological solutions and reuse models will be addressed.

We will shed light on the importance of organizational measures, including inclusive planning, procurement, building process, municipal reuse organizations, labeling, and other elements for increased sustainability performance in real estate. We will also show you a practical case study on how the procurement of construction projects can be used as a tool for circular economy.

What can you expect:

An introduction to EU level initiatives and policies on Circular economy, such as the Green deal and Circular Economy Action plan. How will these affect the real estate sector?
A comprehensive approach to sustainable real estate: Addressing driving forces and areas of action for more sustainable buildings and districts by developing, operationalizing and communicating strategic sustainability objectives.
A case study on circularity in procurement of construction projects from the City of Gothenburg, Sweden. DGE took part in a study developing a practical approach to including circularity in public procurement of construction projects. The study is now nominated to the prize ’Circular initiative of the year’.

Speakers:

Nan Kjellberg (DGE, Sweden) – Senior strategic advisor and team manager within sustainable business and circular economy.

Andreas Lindinger (denkstatt, Austria) – Senior consultant on smart urban management and decarbonisation, with a focus on sustainable real estate, mobility and logistics.

Sofi Ahlström (DGE, Sweden) – Senior environmental and sustainability advisor. Sofi has a long experience of working with the construction sector.

Understanding the Environmental Impact of Products – Demystifying the World of Life Cycle Assessment and Carbon Footprint

When: Wed. December 2, 2020 – 10am – 11am CET

Free registration link: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/354768832591733005?source=Partner+Platforms

What makes a product sustainable? The absence of toxins? A low carbon footprint? The recyclability of its packaging? How about all of the above… and then some. It is a really exciting time to be developing the metrics and generating the facts and figures to guide consumer choices. Reducing societies impact on the environment is more important than ever before and the big lever lies in improving the environmental performance of products. Join us for the first step on this journey, assessing the environmental impacts of products along their entire life cycle.

What can you expect:

Setting the scene (benefits & uses)
Step by step approach (performing a LCA)
Interpreting results (reading a PCF/LCA)
