ESG is impacting every industry and the student housing industry isn't exempt. But where is it headed? In the short term in the US, everyone is looking at the SEC's forthcoming Climate Disclosure Rule that came out last fall but has not been finalized due Supreme Court ruling between West Virginia and the EPA. But what's beyond that??? For that, we need to look at the UK's Net Zero initiative.
In this episode, Daniel Smith joins Wes as co-host to discuss sustainability efforts and where things are headed. Daniel is not only a student housing veteran with both development and operating experience, he is also the co-founder of Good Management Group which is a London-based consultancy firm that advises all types of companies regarding their ESG efforts. Daniel is also the managing director of Student Housing Consultancy. Additionally in this episode, we share a recent ShopTalk panel discussion on What's Ahead with ESG and Student Housing. The panel includes industry experts Jill Brosig from Harrison Street, and Chris Laughman and Madeline Robertson, both from Greystar.
