Metropolitan House participates in the round table “New trends and sustainability indicators (ESG) in the real estate sector”
The College of Economists of Catalonia has hosted the presentation of a new balanced scorecard model containing indicators to measure the results in companies in the real estate and construction sectors.
The real estate sector plays a very important role in the decarbonisation of the economy. The energy efficiency of buildings, waste management and the water footprint are some of the sustainability factors closely linked to this sector. Therefore, having ESG information is key for companies to improve the management of these and other environmental, social and governance aspects, as well as reduce the impacts and risks generated by real estate activity.
Experts from the real estate and financial sectors met on Wednesday 5 March at a round table to discuss the importance of ESG (environmental, social and governance) information as a fundamental tool for the sustainability and competitiveness of companies. The event, organised by the Economics and Sustainability and Accounting Committees of the College of Economists of Catalonia (Col·legi d’Economistes de Catalunya), brought to the table new trends in the management of ESG indicators and the challenges facing the sector.
In this context, Ramon Bastida, director of the Chair of Decent and Sustainable Housing at UPF-BSM, in collaboration with the Metropolitan House Foundation, presented a new balanced scorecard model adapted for construction and real estate companies, an essential tool for integrating ESG criteria into the business management of the sector.
Sandra Jiménez, director of ESG risk admission at Caixabank, Ambròs Martínez, vice president of the Guild of Builders and Director of Contracting and Development at COPISA, and Juan José Rodríguez, technical director at Metropolitan House, participated in the round table on practical experiences.
