Looking at commercial mortgages for a property as an investment, you need to consider environmental social, and governance (ESG) factors.
These factors are a big influence on the value, performance, and reputation of commercial properties of all kinds. It’s important to consider the preferences of regulators, customers, and tenants at the same time.
One of the first steps is defining your ESG goals before you start looking for a property. Try to get a good idea about how these goals align with your stakeholders’ expectations as well as your values and business strategy. There are several different frameworks that you can use including The Task Force on Climate Related Financial Disclosures, The Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB), and the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI).
Commercial Mortgages’ Opportunities and Risks.
The next step is assessing your opportunities and risks for these types of investments. For example, you should take a look at the compliance of any property you’re thinking about investing in. Focus on community engagement, biodiversity, and waste management to name a few factors.
Once you have some of that information stored away, you should benchmark it against industry standards and your competitors. Implementing your findings can take on a different look depending on the building or property you’re investing in.
You might need to consider retrofitting existing structures or implementing green technologies.
