Key Findings from ESG Property Investor Survey
Posted by Knight Frank Newcastle on 22nd September 2023 -
Investors are increasingly looking to improve quality of their existing portfolio as ESG regulations continue to influence real estate decisions.
ESG is important for businesses, and real estate investors are also recognising its value. This was reflected in the responses from our ESG Property Investor Survey.
UK and EU regulations are making buildings in commercial and residential areas more efficient. However, in the UK, we estimate about 70% of commercial space will not meet the proposed Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards of EPC B rating by 2030.
Furthermore, our latest (Y)OUR SPACE report of more than 300 global occupiers found that almost all respondents said ESG strategies and commitments will influence real estate decisions over the next three years.
How have investors responded to changing ESG requirements?
The ESG property Investor Survey asks investors about their property investments and ESG, focusing on UK and Europe. It includes 45 investors with £300 billion in assets under management. When asked what nationalities their capital represents, the investors stated Europe, the UK, north America and Asia-Pacific.
Below are the key findings from the survey:
