JLL APAC ESG research team analyzes ESG factors in real estate, providing valuable insights for sustainable investment and development strategies. The objective is to help our clients navigate the complex landscape of ESG considerations, driving responsible practices in the property sector. Our sustainability SMEs help in assessing physical climate change risk, developing strategies, and implementing appropriate solutions for their real estate assets as measures to reduce/ eliminate the impact of physical climate change risk. Below image highlights the urgency to seek the right support and guidance and identify appropriate measures to safeguard the interest of your organization. The scores are based on current level and expected change in the climate hazard, and size of population. For example: A flood risk score of 50 implies the significance and impact of overall climate change impact on the city is greater than 50% of all other cities. Reach out to us to identify the risk score for your individual assets considering 8 key perils – cold, drought, fire, flood, heat, precipitation, and wind. #climaterisk #climateaction #climatechange #artificialintelligence #esg #environmentalaction #sustainableinvestment #sustainability JLL JLL India Source: JLL Research & Jupiter Intelligence

JLL joins WorldGBC Asia Pacific Network for green building leadership JLL has joined the World Green Building Council’s Asia Pacific Regional Network, reinforcing its role in promoting sustainable building practices in a region, Lili Tao, Managing Director, South East Asia, Project and Development Services (PDS), JLL. JLL (NYSE: JLL) has announced that it has joined the World Green Building Council’s (WorldGBC) Asia Pacific Regional Network (APN). The APN is led by 17 Green Building Councils (GBCs) and three regional partners, representing a region home to over 60% of the world’s population and expected to contribute to over 50% of global GDP growth in the coming decades. The announcement is reinforced by the region’s position at the forefront of adopting green building practices, with several countries implementing stringent green building codes and standards. However, the region is also vulnerable to the impacts of climate change; rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and biodiversity loss are amongst the many challenges faced. "With JLL's expertise and leadership in real estate, we are confident that by working together, we can drive meaningful change to ensure that our built environments support, and actively contribute to, a sustainable future, for our region and the world,” said Joy Gai, Strategic Partnership Lead and Asia Head, WorldGBC.

For ESG reporting, ensuring data completeness, quality, and timeliness is crucial. Many use spreadsheets, a sensible choice for service businesses. However, managing a portfolio of 50-100 commercial properties with varying standards across Asia Pacific presents challenges. Sam Crispin, Head of Sustainability and ESG at Savills APAC, highlighted these issues at the 11th CIO Innovation Forum and the 10th Total Security Conference in Hong Kong. Key challenges include common reporting standards, ESG data automation, carbon intensity, social sustainability metrics, and scope 3 supply chain data. Data security, a critical governance issue, is vital as suppliers may hesitate to share data after cyber-attacks. ESG is multidisciplinary.

Many of Bangkok’s office buildings have become outdated and inefficient, leading to increased resource consumption, rising maintenance costs, and a substantial negative environmental impact. These buildings not only harm the environment but also fall short of meeting modern tenant demands for sustainability. The deterioration of these buildings results in poor air quality and higher operational costs, making them less attractive to potential tenants who now prioritise eco-friendly practices. As buildings age, their performance suffers, further increasing their environmental footprint and contributing to ongoing sustainability challenges in urban areas. CBRE Thailand is tackling the issue by transforming outdated office buildings with sustainable practices. By implementing LEED O+M certification and energy-saving strategies, such as enhancing water consumption and waste management, CBRE has significantly reduced energy use and carbon emissions. These efforts not only improve environmental performance but also offer operational cost savings for landlords and meet tenant demands for greener buildings. This approach demonstrates the potential for widespread environmental improvement in urban areas, creating more sustainable cities. #AGCGlass #BuildingIndustry #Innovation #Trends #Sustainability #sustainableconstruction #SustainableArchitecture

The surge in solar panel adoption among Singapore's landed homeowners is attributed to the significant reduction in prices over the past two years. Prices have decreased by about 60%, making solar installations more financially viable for many. This trend is further bolstered by the increasing awareness of the environmental benefits and the desire to reduce carbon footprints. While the cost of installing solar panels remains a concern due to the hefty upfront investment, the long-term cost savings are notable. Many systems can break even in about five to six years, with the potential to generate income by selling excess power back to the grid. This offers a substantial incentive for homeowners to invest in solar energy despite the initial expenditure. In terms of future trends, the industry experts indicate that solar panel prices have likely bottomed out, with further reductions being unlikely. However, improvements in panel efficiency are expected, which will allow homeowners to generate more power and potentially increase their cost savings over time. Some landed homeowners are hesitant to install solar panels due to concerns about maintenance and safety. Maintenance is generally minimal, involving periodic cleaning and performance checks. However, safety risks, especially when installations are carried out by unlicensed personnel, have raised concerns. Proper installation by certified contractors is crucial to mitigate risks such as electrical fires. Singapore is progressing towards its goal of at least 2 GWp of solar deployment by 2030, which aligns with the nation's sustainability targets under the Singapore Green Plan 2030. EMA is enhancing grid reliability by implementing solar forecasting tools to manage solar intermittency. This is a critical step in integrating more solar power into the national grid, ensuring a stable and resilient energy supply. Moving forward, expanding solar adoption in Singapore will involve public awareness campaigns, innovative financing models to lower the entry barrier, and the exploration of advanced solar technologies to maximize energy generation efficiency. Ensuring safety through the use of licensed contractors for installations and maintenance is also vital for the sustainable growth of this sector. #SolarPanelAdoption #RenewableEnergy #EnergyEfficiency #SingaporeSolar #GreenEnergy #SolarPowerSavings #SolarForecasting #SustainableSingapore

📊 According to CBRE Research, just 40% of premium office spaces in Hong Kong hold green certification, in stark contrast to over 70% in cities like Singapore, Sydney, and Tokyo. As vacancy rates hit record highs and revenues decline, developers who hesitate to invest in sustainable upgrades may find themselves at a competitive disadvantage, especially as demand for Sustainable office spaces continues to grow.

Going sustainable is at its highest level of awareness, but it still carries the misconception that it’s the more expensive option. That should not be the case. Ms. Jessica Sy highlights that SM Prime Holdings, Inc. and SMDC are at the forefront of evolving urban living by creating vibrant, sustainable communities that prioritize the well-being of both locals and the environment. This is a prime example of how sustainability doesn’t have to come at a higher cost—it’s about making smarter, more impactful choices. The real price of maintaining the status quo is alarming. As highlighted in the COP discussions, global temperatures could rise to 2.8°C by 2050—a disaster scenario that would bring unbearable losses for everyone. Doing nothing is the bigger cost. The only way to mitigate this is by working TOGETHER. Let’s challenge the notion that sustainability comes with a premium. The cost of inaction is far greater. #Sustainability #ClimateAction #GoGreen #CollectiveResponsibility #LeadershipInAction
