PropertyEU Magazine - May 2011

The cover story in the May 2011 edition of PropertyEU Magazine examines 'the value of green'. Sustainability initiatives are proliferating in the European ­property sector as companies seek to 'green' their existing buildings and portfolios in the face of mounting legislative and ­shareholder ­pressure. But does sustainability pay off? And how is it ­measured? Leading asset managers give their views on the value of ­sustainability and their reasons for joining a green alliance.
