RISE will serve as a platform for the introduction and integration of sustainability into the company's daily operations, consulting services, and market leadership, Colliers said. The initiative is aimed at turning Colliers into the 'leader in green building consulting within the regional real estate services sector.'
'In light of the current global climate change concerns, the global real estate and building industries are in prominent positions for making a sizeable reduction in green house gas emissions. An estimated half of the world's greenhouse gas emissions can be attributed to the building sector,' said Inglish.
'Colliers is the first international property consultancy in Southeast Europe to make a major commitment to sustainability. We hope by assuming a leadership position in this field to help bring about long-term changes in the region that will benefit everyone who lives here,' added Philip Bay, regional director of Colliers International Southeast Europe.
Colliers International Southeast Europe has 10 offices in six countries: Albania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Montenegro and Serbia, and performs selected assignments in Slovenia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, FYR of Macedonia, and Cyprus.
