Decarbonizing a Manhattan Skyscraper with Brookfield Properties’ Michael Daschle
The Decarbonization Race is back!
On our season premiere, Michael Daschle, SVP of Sustainability at Brookfield Properties, joins Lincoln to share how the company’s push to decarbonize its commercial real estate portfolio led to powering Brookfield’s flagship New York City property, One Manhattan West, with 24/7 carbon-free energy. Michael dives into Brookfield’s vision and approach to ESG, how to get the tenants on board with Brookfield’s investments in sustainability, sourcing 100% renewable electricity, and Brookfield’s plans for the future.
Key Takeaways:
- As an organization that has invested in ESG, it's the managers’ responsibility to make sure it’s an investment that tenants want to be a part of—listen in for what they are looking for.
- With the right procurement approach, you can have a large impact on your building's carbon emissions footprint and make a sizable difference in a short amount of time.
- As a real estate company, it is important to not only say what you’re going to do to tackle ESG-related issues, but to be authentic, transparent, and show that you’re committed to your word.
