Empower 360: Shaping the Future of Sustainable Real Estate
Welcome to the 2024 CoreNet Global Singapore Chapter Symposium—an electrifying call to action for real estate visionaries who are ready to ignite change, challenge norms, and redefine Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) practices.
Why Empower 360?
The real estate industry stands at a crossroads. Climate change, social equity, and governance imperatives converge, demanding more than mere compliance. ESG has ceased to be a buzzword – it is the core foundation of a responsible business.
Climate Change: A Tipping Point for Our Planet
In the delicate balance of the Earth’s ecosystems, a mere 1-degree increase can unleash chaos. Glaciers retreat, seas swell, and weather patterns shift. Coral reefs bleach, forests wither, and species vanish.
Each Degree Matters
As professionals, we wield influence—our buildings, energy choices, and designs ripple through the climate fabric. By embracing sustainable practices, advocating for green spaces, and fostering resilient communities, we can shift the needle —one degree at a time.
Join us as we extend an invitation to occupiers, landlords, developers, service providers, and ESG experts. Our goal is to connect you and provide a
360-degree view that unveils hidden opportunities, untapped synergies, and sustainable growth pathways.
This year’s Symposium aims to assess our members’ needs, offering forward-thinking perspectives, deep insights, strategic connections, and actionable strategies to a practical roadmap for sustainability while driving revenue growth.
Our mission is simple yet profound: support CoreNet Global professionals to embrace ESG as fundamental to their business core strategies.
Embedded Carbon in Buildings is Often Overlooked
While operational carbon (emissions from building operations) gets the most attention, embedded carbon—the emissions released during the production, transportation, and assembly of building materials—accounts for up to 50% of a building’s total lifetime emissions.
Scope 3 Emissions:
The Hidden Challenge in Real Estate
While Scope 1 (direct emissions) and Scope 2 (energy-related emissions) are often the primary focus, Scope 3 emissions—which include tenant activities, employee commutes, and supply chain impacts—can account for up to 70% of a building’s total carbon emissions.
Statistic 1
Buildings account for about 14% of global freshwater use, with much of this consumption happening in commercial and industrial buildings. Leaks and inefficient systems in buildings waste up to 30% of water used for everyday operations.
Statistic 2
ESG-focused institutional investments are projected to reach $33.9 trillion by 2026
