UKAA Webinar: ESG in BTR: From strategy to practice on social considerations

The contribution of Build to Rent to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations is clear. This webinar, Part 2 of a series of 3 discussions, focusses on moving from strategy to practice on social considerations. We will discuss what addressing social considerations means for investors and businesses, at corporate and site level. The focus will be on practical steps that developers and asset owners can embed across their organisations and assets, including Health & Safety, tackling modern day slavery, health and wellbeing for employees, tenants, and in contributing social value.

Outcomes include:

Understanding the importance of addressing social considerations across businesses, BTR assets, and supply chains
What good looks like in terms of stakeholder engagement – Who are they? How do you prioritise engagement? And how do you proactively and positively engage to enhance the BTR experience?
Understanding the importance of embedding social value across organisations, assets, and working with local communities
Consideration of the range of data and metrics available and how to get started; and

Being responsive to wider market and regulatory trends, in the UK, EU and wider.
