We are proud to celebrate the multitude of journeys and stories that make up our community today and every day. From all of us at RE Tech, we wish you a Happy Thanksgiving. May your day be filled with love, joy, and gratitude.  🦃 🌽 🍂  #Thanksgiving #Diversity #Gratitude #RETechFamily

Today is National Recycling Day! ♻️ Let's take a moment to appreciate the power of recycling, and the different forms it can take. 1️⃣ Upcycling is the process of transforming discarded materials into something of equal or greater value. It's all about creativity and innovation. Think converting old ladders into bookshelves, or turning wine bottles into decorative lamps. 2️⃣ Downcycling is when waste materials are converted into new materials of lesser quality. For example, when plastic bottles are recycled into park benches or picnic tables. 3️⃣ Repurposing is simply finding a new use for an item without changing its form. A classic example is using an old tin can as a pencil holder. On this National #Recycling Day, we are committed to doing our part in reducing waste, whether it's through upcycling, downcycling or repurposing.

RE Tech’s Renée Loveland, EMSL participated in a dynamic discussion at the #Greenbuild International Conference in Philadelphia this week, focusing on the evolving role of the Chief Sustainability Officer (CSO) in commercial real estate. The panelists shared insightful experiences about how their roles have transformed over time, their methods of engaging with stakeholders, and the resources they require.    Key takeaways from the session include: ✔ The Value of Sustainability: The panel emphasized that sustainability should not be viewed solely as a cost center. Instead, it's crucial to evaluate both the risks and opportunities that sustainability presents, thereby articulating its value more effectively. ✔ Sustainability Integration: Sustainability should be embedded into all core business functions, rather than existing as a separate entity. This integration is key to achieving successful outcomes and maximizing financial returns. ✔ Evolving Role of the CSO: The role of the CSO has often been undefined and has expanded over time. Today, CSOs typically fulfill multiple functions that were historically performed within other departments such as finance, compliance, and human resources. ✔ Influence and Trust: To build and maintain internal buy-in, CSOs need to be skilled at influencing without authority and fostering trust among team members. ✔ Top-Level Support: For a CSO to be successful, backing from those at the highest level of the organization is essential.   This session was a thoughtful exploration of the changing landscape of sustainability in commercial real estate. Thank you to all who attended!   #retechevents

A few RE Techies attended Building Innovation Hub's Decarbonizing DC event this month. They heard from industry leaders and mingled with fellow sustainability professionals about the clean energy transition. Kyle Crowley shared thoughts from the event:  "My biggest takeaway was understanding the importance of leveraging and stacking incentives, funds, tax credits, and financing solutions to make net zero construction and deep energy retrofits financially feasible." #Decarbonization #BuildingInnovation #RETechESG
