As a labor-intensive and service-oriented asset class, hospitality is uniquely positioned to be a leader in advancing sustainability goals for investors.

Speaking for JLL, Charlotte Kang, National Hotels and Hospitality Valuation and Advisory Leader and Emily Chadwick, Lead Risk Adviser and Head of ESG & Risk, discuss how ESG practices in the hospitality sector can be instructive for all asset classes.

The hospitality sector has faced an incredible set of challenges with global COVID shutdowns and a fast return to travel over the last two years. Despite the challenges, hospitality has also taken a lead in ESG best practices, operations, construction, and retrofits. Are there lessons here for multifamily and office investors to learn?

As a follow-up to their Summit Journal article, “Lodging Takes the Lead,” Kang and Chadwick, sat down on July 1, 2022 with AFIRE CEO and podcast host Gunnar Branson to talk about the transformation of hospitality and the ESG challenges every commercial property faces today.
