CRITICAL USE CASE
Bureau Veritas partnered with COGESTRA Group to conduct a Decarbonization and Carbon Risk Real Estate Monitor across their properties. Our experts identified climate-related risks, opportunities, and transition risks for regulatory compliance. Crucially, BV's assessment revealed when each building would diverge from CRREM's energy/carbon reduction trajectories. This comprehensive analysis equipped COGESTRA with a strategic decarbonization roadmap to future-proof their assets, mitigate risks and capitalize on opportunities aligned with sustainability goals. BV's solutions are accelerating real estate decarbonization leadership.
Challenges
Decarbonisation of buildings and construction sector, which is responsible for a staggering 37% of greenhouse gas emissions worldwide is essential for reducing emissions, meeting UN objectives for a low-carbon economy, and safeguarding our planet's future.
For the buildings sector, multifaceted decarbonization strategies are critical for aligning with global climate targets and transitioning to a low-carbon future such as:
- Improving energy efficiency through retrofits to reduce energy demand by 45% by 2030.
- Renewable energy sources to phase out coal by 2040.
- Adopting smart technologies and sustainable materials to cut embodied carbon by 50%; and implementing supportive policies to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.
Decarbonization has emerged as a significant imperative for transforming the built environment. With Bureau Veritas’ Decarbonisation assessment service, the real estate sector can begin their transition to a sustainable, low-carbon future in lockstep with UN objectives.
