Solving the Real Estate Aspects of Global Warming and Social Equity
ESG IMPACTS has the great pleasure of working every day on solving the real estate aspects of two of the biggest problems of our time: global warming and social equity.
We have already created some of the new best practices in this new paradigm, and our clients increasingly benefit from our forward-looking monetization of ESG as a profit center and as an asset class.
- Industry Accomplishments
Successes, Results, Benefits and Outcomes
ESG IMPACTS and its partner companies – McMac CX, Enterprise Real Estate, and The E³SG Companies:
Have already verified the sustainability of one million square feet of mixed use, office, and industrial real estate assets through their newly introduced proprietary ESG scoring models, thus validating the inclusion of those assets in Green Fund syndications.
Is defining ESG as an asset class.
Has built innovative systems around the “G”, recognizing that the governance of real estate is government, through its powers of zoning, comprehensive planning, building codes, etc. Further, each of the ± 2.2 million government buildings across the country provides an incredibly important stabilizing or regenerative socio-economic force in their respective neighborhoods.
Has a history of successfully adding value to real estate. As spaces are decarbonized, and made healthier and more productive, tenants are willing to pay a premium. Utility expense is reduced through energy efficiency. As a result of higher rents and lower operating expenses, net operating income is increased. By reducing leasing, operating and disposition risks, cap rates and yield rates are lower, and the resultant values are higher.
Has developed the first and only peer reviewed methodologies to validate the value of carbon credits in commercial real estate. Real estate owners now have access to a new revenue stream and/or tax benefit.
Is currently a key part of several major project development teams across the country, starting with site acquisition, continuing with the recommendation, validation and valuation of various green and sustainable strategies, assisting with green bond financing, concluding with ESG consulting for building construction and occupancy.
Has systems and analyses, and assurance services, that solve for greenwashing.
Has created and leads a national ESG Audit Network to provide boots on the ground inspection and analysis of properties being audited, scored, valued, or monitored.
Is in position to support: 1) property owners, as the Securities and Exchange Commission and local ordinances, such as Local Law 97 in New York, begin to regulate carbon emissions and ESG claims, and 2) companies, representing more than 90% of global GDP, that have pledged to transition to net-zero emissions. Our work already meets the new rules requiring standardization and increased transparency, integrity, and compliance. Our auditing, monitoring, and reporting functions will be at the heart of the process. Our ESG scores and values are a natural byproduct for the benefit of shareholders and stakeholders.
Is reimagining Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE&I) as Equity², taking ESG out of the boardroom as a talking point and moving it into the real estate markets, creating real equity opportunities for under-represented populations.
Has connected high conviction Impact to ESG. Impact is one of the measures of ESG scoring. In real estate, ESG and Impact are integrally linked.
Has created Sustainability as a Service (SaaS), acting as a Fractional Chief Sustainability Officer for smaller corporates, infusing ESG and sustainability throughout a company and managing all the reporting requirements.
Is promoting widespread adoption of shared ESG data elements across multiple industries – brokerage, appraisal, mortgage lending, MBS / Green Bonds – and thereby connecting ESG real estate to the Circular Economy

As a result of these client relationships, and the accumulated learning and data, ESG IMPACTS will be among the national leaders in standardizing ESG. We will therefore further our relationships with the mortgage lending community – the Mortgage Bankers Association (MISMO) and the GSE’s including Fannie and Freddie – and the college and university systems – particularly those with real estate, engineering, and architecture schools (and their students can be a paid part of our ESG Audit Network).
