Greenprint Foundation, a worldwide alliance of leading real estate owners, investors, and financial institutions committed to reducing carbon emissions across the global property industry, has launched its first Greenprint Carbon Index.
The Greenprint Carbon Index spans 36 countries and represents 16 million m2 of office, industrial, retail, multi-family and hotel properties with 35,000 tenants. The Index establishes an industry-wide standard that measures, benchmarks and tracks operational energy usage and carbon emission trends. Aligned with both the International Greenhouse Gas Protocol and the principles of ISO 14064, it creates a reliable and transparent platform that enables the collection and analysis of accurate and verifiable property performance data.
‘This first Greenprint Carbon Index report establishes a baseline to measure our members’ progress in lowering their portfolios’ carbon emissions,' said Greenprint CEO Charles Leitner. ‘Greenprint’s members are taking meaningful and immediate actions to improve energy efficiency, reduce carbon and create value in their portfolios. Their participation in the Index represents the commitment to measuring success towards that goal. Our intent is to broaden the Index’s scope as the Foundation expands its membership and members’ participation in the database,’ he added.
