Advanced Sustainability
The strategic importance of sustainability as part of investment decision-making requires institutional investors and managers to integrate climate risk, regulatory requirements and broader environmental and social considerations into investment strategies and asset management decisions. Our one-and-a-half-day Advanced Sustainability for Real Estate course enables those professionals that already have a good understanding of sustainability to strengthen their strategic approach and practical implementation. Through expert insights, real-world case studies and interactive discussions, participants will explore how sustainability factors influence portfolio strategy, asset value and investment decision-making.
The Attendance Fee is:
€1100 for INREV members
€1400 for non-members
If you are not an INREV member and wish to register, please contact INREV Academy.
Participants will gain a deeper understanding of climate risk management, decarbonisation pathways, biodiversity considerations and the evolving regulatory landscape. The course also examines how sustainability considerations are incorporated into underwriting, valuations and investment frameworks.
Designed for experienced real estate professionals, the programme focuses on practical applications and peer exchange. A collaborative case study allows participants to apply their knowledge by negotiating sustainability-related investment decisions from different stakeholder perspectives.
An asset tour and group dinner provide additional opportunities for informal discussion and networking.
The course covers the following key areas:
- Key drivers shaping sustainability in real estate
- Current market developments and regional differences
- Key ESG regulations affecting real estate
- Physical and transition risk management
- Challenges of decarbonising portfolios
- Data availability challenges
- Trade-offs and decision-making in decarbonisation projects

- Navigate the evolving ESG regulatory environment affecting real estate investments.
- Assess climate-related risks in real estate portfolios, including both physical and transition risks.

The course is targeted at mid to senior level industry professionals with content designed for those that already have a good understanding of sustainability-related matters. Our programme will provide a structure for the day’s topics but it is expected that participants contribute to the group’s knowledge through active participation and sharing case studies and examples. It is particularly relevant for institutional investors, fund and portfolio managers, asset managers, sustainability professionals and investment or transaction professionals.
Location
There is no pre-requisite for this course, however, we do recommend that participants have first participated in our Sustainability for Real Estate Course course before moving onto this advanced course. If participants have participated in previous INREV ESG training courses, that is also considered a good foundation.
