AccountAbility, a global consulting firm that specializes in corporate responsibility and sustainability, has worked with NAREIT for the past year to develop a better understanding of the array of sustainability-related guidelines, key performance indicators and metrics in use or under consideration for real estate businesses and real estate investment in the U.S. and around the world. As part of this initiative, NAREIT also explored whether best practice-type sustainability guidelines are achievable and desirable for U.S. REITs in the public marketplace. Sunny Misser, the firm’s CEO, talked with REIT.com about the results of AccountAbility’s analysis, key takeaways from the exercise and broader trends in corporate responsibility.
