CoreNet Global: Driving Sustainability in Corporate Real Estate

At CoreNet Global, we recognize that sustainability is not just a trend—it is a necessity for the future of corporate real estate. We are committed to empowering our members with the knowledge, resources, and networks needed to create sustainable workplaces that promote environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and economic viability. Together, we can build a more sustainable world through innovative practices and collaboration.

At the APAC Summit, CoreNet Global sustainability actions include:

  • Using compostable throw aways, but mostly using china
  • Utilizing a local vendor for printing instead of shipping most items
  • Ordering signs printed on recycled material
  • No aisle carpet in Innovation Pavilion
  • Participating in a food waste reduction program (all excess food is donated)
  • Requesting partners to source items locally instead of shipping items to the event

Sustainability is integral to CoreNet Global’s mission. We are dedicated to promoting sustainable practices within the corporate real estate sector through education, advocacy, and collaboration. Our initiatives focus on:

  • Knowledge Sharing: We provide valuable resources, research, and tools that empower members to implement sustainable strategies in their organizations.
  • Networking Opportunities: Our global events and local chapters create a platform for professionals to connect, share best practices, and collaborate on sustainability initiatives.
  • Advocacy: We advocate for policies and practices that support sustainable development in the built environment, ensuring that the voices of our members are heard.
  • Innovative Solutions: By highlighting case studies and success stories, we inspire our members to adopt innovative approaches to sustainability that enhance both environmental performance and business outcomes.
Join us as we lead the charge toward a more sustainable future in corporate real estate, fostering environments that benefit not just businesses but also the communities and ecosystems in which we operate.
