A step towards sustainable transition

The real estate sector evolves towards sustainability with Green Bonds, Loans and Crowdfunding

The European Union has recently issued the Green Bonds Regulation, a crucial step to accelerate the sustainable transition of the continent. In the real estate sector, a path towards sustainability has already solidified over the past 15 years, influencing environmental laws, energy requirements, and practices such as green procurement and the European taxonomy.

In this presentation by Francesco Arnesano, Director of ESG, Green Building & Energy Efficiency Services at the "Green Bonds, Loans, and Crowdfunding" conference organized by CDV Conference Management, we explored the evolution of these instruments and their correlation with the new Green Bonds Regulation.

The presentation specifically emphasized the technical verification of the sustainability of construction projects, essential for documenting the eligibility of investments in Green Bonds.

We delved into topics such as:

- Historical evolution of sustainability in the real estate sector 
- Technical assessments according to the European taxonomy
- Correlations between Green Public Procurement, Green Building Protocols, and the European taxonomy
- The process of verifying environmental sustainability in green bonds according to the new EuGB regulation.

This event provided an important opportunity for information and training for developers and property managers, crucial for navigating the sector's evolution towards increased sustainability.
