As part of CBRE’s latest Panel Talk entitled “How to integrate the social component into sustainable real estate projects”, Axelle Marchon had the pleasure of presenting the topic of “Social leverage as a catalyst for sustainability”, in collaboration with Laura Sarrasin and her investor perspective. In a nutshell:
- Sustainable real estate means taking care of the structure as well as its uses.
- The creation of neighborhood collectives increases mutual aid, sharing (of services or spaces) and responsible consumption.
- One size doesn’t fit all: each context has its own needs and neighborhood dynamics.
- What’s in it for the investor?
