Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) initiatives have become a top priority for the industry, and provide a unique opportunity for collaboration betweeninvestors, owners and occupiers. While what they do with the data may vary, they share a common need for what’s collected at the real estate asset level that’s accessible, consistent and can be exchanged across multiple systems, providing a catalyst to attract more investment in real estate.
The time is now to dramatically improve the flow of ESG data between these stakeholders and across the industry, to link asset level data with portfolios and to attract new investment in funds based on improved ESG capabilities and performance. OSCRE's focus is on the ESG data standards needed to go beyond real estate reporting for ESG, and to help integrate data coming from diverse systems and platforms many of which are managed by others.
ESG reporting starts with data integration across multiple platforms. Data Standards provide the consistency to exchange data and help you gain new capabilities across the entire supply chain.

We need leaders who will share perspectives on their challenges and cultivate solutions on one of the most critical challenges facing our industry today - better data to capture real estate’s impact on the environment. Real estate organizations need to move quickly to develop an effective approach to environmental data. That need for speed impacts how you collect, report and analyze data.
