MIPIM 2024
During MIPIM 2024, it became increasingly clear that the real estate sector is placing more emphasis on sustainability and circularity, with a conscious approach to materials and resources at its core. The importance of the relationship between offices and their environment, community, and well-being was emphasized, demonstrating that real estate developments are no longer isolated entities but integral parts of society. This shift is also reflected in the residential sector, where the focus on ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) criteria is growing, with sustainability as a balance between economics, ecology, and social aspects, becoming essential for affordable real estate.
Furthermore, it appears that sustainability is not just a moral consideration but also receives a financial boost, as banks and investors increasingly link ESG criteria to financing, such as with green loans and compliance with the EU taxonomy. This leads to business growth and provides a leverage for developers and investors looking to distinguish themselves by adopting ESG criteria.
While large corporations set the course for implementing ESG principles, it is expected that the real estate market in Europe will continue to evolve, with significant support for real estate labels and a growing awareness within the sector that sustainability is the future. However, for many, sustainability remains a broad and sometimes unclear concept, highlighting the need for more clarity and guidelines to navigate through the complexities.
