Zusammenfassung

This book looks into different aspects of implementing ESG into real estate contracts from a European perspective. It covers general aspects, contract-type specific aspects and then property usage-type specific aspects. General topics cover legal frameworks, the social and governance perspective based on EU sustainable finance regulations. Contract-type specific questions cover different contract types. The team of authors then addresses specific issues relating to different types of property use such as office, retail, logistics, hospitality and data centres. The focus of the work is on EU, so that the content can provide food for thought for the work in different EU countries. The book thus supports practitioners in compiling their personal toolkit for use in individual cases.

Content:

Terms, concepts and basics of sustainability, CSR and ESG
What ESG in real estate contracts means
Standards for (non-financial) sustainability reporting, CSRD and ESRS
Climate litigation, energy and renewables, data
Sustainability and competition law, brownfields
Pre-contracts and recitals
ESG and real estate investment, leases, real estate financing
