Hello again! 👋  and welcome to the final episode in our ESG mini-series on the CleanTechies Podcast

Today we are joined by Fulya Kocak Gin the SVP of ESG at Nareit (National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts)

Fulya is an industry leader in the ESG<>Real Estate space as she has been helping pull together and publish research for the members of Nareit. This work alone has had an incredible impact on the industry no doubt. 

In today's conversation, we had the chance to go into detail with her about how ESG plays a role in the Real Estate space. Specifically, we went into what is a REIT, how does ESG effect design, the standard objections, ESG reporting for RE Owners, and much more.
