ESG Properties Lead Way

Across different segments of the European real estate sector, industrial properties such as warehouses and manufacturing sites lead the way when it comes to ESG (environmental, social, and governance) performance, says research by Deepki. Two thirds (62 per cent) of respondents rated the ESG performance of the industrial sector as good or very good, followed by leisure (61 per cent) and retail (60 per cent). This compares to logistics and office real estate which had the lowest ‘positive’ rating of 47 per cent and 44 per cent respectively.
