This white paper discusses how severe climate events are driving three multiyear, secular trends in commercial real estate and are expected to materially influence real estate owners’ capital allocations. Calvert believes portfolios with real estate exposure that are poorly positioned against climate impacts may require greater investment, potentially lowering investor returns and missing out on compelling incremental revenue-generating opportunities.
Calvert invests across the global capital markets seeking the potential for long-term value creation and positive global impact — in our clients’ portfolios, the issuers we research and the global communities in which those issuers operate.
Calvert has one of the industry's largest and most diverse teams of ESG professionals, spanning research, engagement and investment solutions.
