What ULI members need to know to ensure that revenues support equitable decarbonization of the built environment.
WASHINGTON (July 27, 2022) – The Urban Land Institute’s Greenprint Center for Building Performance (ULI Greenprint) announced today that its membership has grown to include more than 70 private companies, demonstrating the real estate industry’s momentum toward and commitment to decarbonization. ULI Greenprint is a global alliance of real estate owners and investors dedicated to reducing carbon and achieving net zero by incorporating sustainability into all aspects of their building portfolios.
Through measurement, benchmarking, knowledge sharing, and implementation of best practices, ULI Greenprint members strive to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50 percent by 2030 and achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050 for buildings under operational control.
“Never before has it been a greater priority for real estate to address climate change through ESG and sustainability programs across geographies, sectors, and portfolios. The addition of these new members is a sign of the times and a testament to the collective goals of decreasing carbon emissions and increasing asset value across the industry,” said Marta Schantz, senior vice president of the ULI Greenprint Center for Building Performance. “ULI Greenprint’s community of practice is a vanguard of real estate sustainability leadership and is the premier knowledge-sharing and resource hub for the real estate community to learn – from experts and peers alike – pragmatic opportunities to embed sustainability into their core business practices. On behalf of ULI, I’m inspired by the dedication of our new and long-time members, and I’m thrilled to continue such transformational work to advance critical decarbonization goals.”
As demands increase from investors, regulators, and stakeholders to raise the bar on high-performance buildings, ULI Greenprint will continue to build capacity in the real estate industry to exceed these expectations. The addition of these members grows the program’s ability to accelerate decarbonization in the industry by diversifying the program’s reach across property types, geographies, portfolio sizes, and levels of ESG experience. The cumulative holdings of ULI Greenprint members total more than 18,000 properties in the Americas, Europe, and Asia Pacific regions with a value of more than $1.4 trillion.
