Core offering

GREEN is a not-for-profit collaborative engagement network of institutional investors in real estate, focused on climate risk management and decarbonization of the sector. Members participate in three workstreams (Listed, Non-Listed, and Systemic) to conduct coordinated engagements with real estate companies and address industry-wide barriers to decarbonization, with access to an academically-validated dashboard for tracking engagement progress. Membership is granted upon signing the principles associated with each workstream, and the network operates on annual membership fees.

Product overview

GREEN is a network of institutional investors focused on reducing climate risk in the real estate sector. The platform operates through three core workstreams: Listed Engagement (engaging with publicly listed real estate companies), Non-Listed Engagement (engaging with non-listed funds), and Systemic Workstream (addressing industry-wide barriers to decarbonization). Members access an academically-reviewed dashboard developed with Maastricht University to track engagement indicators. The network offers its investor statement as guidance for engagements, along with news and research content. The core offering is collaborative engagement coordination, not a traditional software product with modules.
