ISG’s Wide Angle research ‘Sustainable Buildings Monitor: Redefining value’

Why should we establish a new, purpose-driven framework to measure the true value of property?
After three years of radical global change, our lives are different. The rules of property demand are changing, with less focus on footfall and commutability, and our asset valuation must be as flexible and multifaceted as the market. We can all play a role in creating resilient communities set up for sustainable and ethical growth. With the collective vision for the future uniting around ESG values, inaction or the sole pursuit of short-term gains is no longer a viable commercial strategy. ISG’s Sustainable Buildings Monitor looks to create a new framework to identify untapped areas of development opportunity across the UK.
Developers and asset owners, organisations, and local authority leaders can pivot interests towards flexible, smart buildings with multiple uses and guardians. A new framework, based on long-term ESG fundamentals, will augment the collective balance sheets. Traditional valuation methodologies are evolving, and the advantage now exists for those who take the more holistic view. Benchmarking against ESG criteria naturally leads to a redefinition of the value of property.
Hear from ISG’s Richard Hubbard, Chief Marketing Officer, Zoe Price, COO, and Peter Kelly, Group Director for Sustainable Operations as they share their insights and discuss the key findings from the report. Watch here.
Research for 'Sustainable Buildings Monitor: Redefining value' encompassed in-operation performance data, social value, net zero, embodied carbon and circularity measurements, as well as proximity to green energy sources and local labour markets. This new research reveals key and untapped areas of development opportunity across the UK. We hope our research can inform future strategic planning and is an opportunity for all regions in the UK to share their knowledge.
Our industry is clearly at an inflection point, and ISG seeks to think differently and be a force for good - advocating for and practising sustainable construction methods and modern methods of construction. We’re encouraging the debate and facilitating knowledge transfer; bringing investors, occupiers and local government to the table and stimulating those conversations based on our findings.
