Becoming more sustainable is one of the biggest challenges facing corporates today - and the built environment accounts for approximately 40% of the world's CO2 emissions. Everyone's now asking how can we decarbonise our real estate, preferably in the most efficient and effective way. It's where JLL's sustainability experts can make a tangible difference, advising companies on how to invest in and implement measures that deliver a potent combination of financial, environmental, and social returns. Join JLL to drive the change that's needed and shape the future of real estate for a better world — a net zero world.

Context
The built environment is generating nearly 40% of the total global carbon footprint. With global warming and urbanization this trend can only increase unless we decide to combat it. Many corporations have made pledges to reduce to NZC but the road to deliver on these promises still needs to be defined and implemented. JLL manages more than 500 million square meters of real estate on behalf of its clients so we believe that we have role to play to drive the sustainability agenda to shape a better world.
