ESG goals in the real estate sector

Responsible, sustainable and socially beneficial practices are already part of the roadmap for many companies in the real estate sector. In such a context, it is not surprising that ESG objectives now occupy a key place in business decision-making in this market, where initiatives that promote investment in projects committed to the environment, well-being and transparency are becoming increasingly common. 

Sustainable homes: the ESG criteria for investors and developers 

ESG criteria, which stands for Environmental, Social and Governance, are not a fad but an increasingly widespread form of business conduct that has also been applied in the real estate sector for some time. In this particular field, the efforts in the transition to an economy that is particularly sensitive to climate change and business ethics have three key objectives: 

1. Implementation of circular models: this is a new drive towards sustainable housing and the decarbonisation of the sector. It is an objective that affects both the choice of construction materials and the useful life of projects and their energy efficiency. 

2. Adoption of sustainable policies: to enhance and promote the benefits of sustainable housing growth without sacrificing financial profitability. The aim is to strike a balance between good investment returns and a positive social and environmental impact. 

3. Creation and use of certifications: the implementation of comprehensive quality controls and sustainability certifications such as BREEAM (already used in Real de La Quinta's projects) serves as an efficient tool to regulate and monitor good business practices in environmental matters. 

Based on these ESG objectives, it is easy to understand that the future of construction and the real estate sector is increasingly geared towards driving significant changes in habitability, resource consumption and regulatory compliance. At Real de La Quinta we promote responsible management with projects that take into account these development trends and their potential to generate favourable change for investors, owners and society as a whole.
