Reducing Carbon Footprint Requires a Tricky Path for CRE I Law360 (Subscription Required)

By Michael Kuhn and Mahira Khan

The evolving landscape of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) measures within the commercial office market is shifting from voluntary green initiatives to mandatory regulations in the U.S. and EU. Previously, ESG-related practices, such as the inclusion of green provisions in leases, were implemented at the discretion of landlords and tenants. However, this dynamic is changing due to increased regulatory pressure and societal debates surrounding ESG initiatives.
