Lender Roundtable: Just Where Is the Money Coming From?
|
Session #: 047-59
Presenter(s): Panel Session Length: 1:15 hr. Program: 2007 ULI Fall Meeting Date: October 24-26, 2007
An investment revolution is beginning in the real estate industry as individual and institutional investors begin to acquire investments that achieve a triple bottom line—rate of return in terms of economic, social, and environmental impact. It's not just green; it's achieving high returns on investment while continuously improving the in-place environment. Responsible property investment (RPI) means applying socially responsible investing (SRI) strategies when selecting public and private development companies in which to invest. With SRI, investors screen investments to avoid companies for social reasons such as negative environmental policies and use of animals in testing. Join us as our panel of investors, developers, and advisers define RPI through practical examples, discuss various metrics used to measure a company's progress on the road to more RPI, and how you can do well economically by doing good socially and environmentally.
