Climate Change, ESG Investing, ESG Data with implications for CRE and CMBS
I recently presented at the DBRS Morningstar webinar (panel discussion) on “Climate Change, ESG Investing, ESG Data with implications for CRE and CMBS”. It was a well-rounded discussion on ESG factors impacting CRE and implications for CMBS, with perspectives on trends in quantifying climate change data, how and why it matters to investors in fixed income and real assets, the growth of investor interest in sustainable investing, DBRS Morningstar’s ESG initiatives and criteria, and the CMBS credit rating process incorporating these critical issues.
