European Sustainable Real Estate Initiative (ESREI)

The European Sustainable Real Estate Initiative (ESREI), launched by the OID in 2021, arose from a simple observation: environmental challenges extend far beyond our national borders, and it is essential for stakeholders to consider and harmonise their sustainable practices at a regional and global level. To this end, ESREI fosters and facilitates a European network focused on sustainability issues in the real estate sector, driven by collective intelligence and a commitment to sharing best practices.

WHAT DOES THE EUROPEAN SUSTAINABLE REAL ESTATE INITIATIVE (ESREI) OFFER?
