Contribution of sustainability in real estate to value was discussed at the Value for Sustainability Summit

Denge Gayrimenkul Değerleme ve Danışmanlık A.Ş., which provides valuation of all property, plant and equipment such as real estate, vehicles, machinery and equipment, as well as real estate development and investment consultancy services, drew attention to the significant contribution of sustainable practices in the real estate sector on a value basis at the “Value for Sustainability - Tomorrow is Valuable with Sustainability” summit, which was completed with ten sessions attended by esteemed guests.

Hosted at Mandarin Oriental Bosphorus with the support of Alkaş, GYODER, Ecobuild and Altensis, the summit titled “Value for Sustainability - Tomorrow is Valuable with Sustainability” was broadcast live on closed circuit via Digital Network Alkaş (DNA).

Carbon footprint measurement of the Value for Sustainability - Tomorrow is Valuable with Sustainability summit, which was watched by more than 200 people in the livestream of DNA, was also made in the field. As a result of the measurement, the carbon footprint of the summit was calculated as 1 ton 775 kilos; the summit will be made carbon neutral through carbon offsetting.

In Recent Years, Sustainability Has Changed Shape

First session of the summit was completed with sessions titled “Sustainable Buildings and New Value Concept”, “ESG Score in Real Estate Sector Certification”, “Complexity Management and Leadership Strategy”, “Sustainable Investment Strategies, Corporate Projects and Targets” and “Impact of Sustainability on Real Estate Value”.

The second session of the summit, which started with an entertaining show by comedian Kaan Sekban, continued with a session titled “Financing Sustainability”. Emphasizing the importance of LEED certification, Tarık Özer, Financial Affairs Director of Istanbul Finance Center, said: “As IFC, our environmental approach prevents 1.1 million tons of carbon emissions.” Seçil Yıldız, Deputy General Manager of Development Investment Bank, emphasized that in order for a product to be recycled, its recycling should be planned from the design. In the same session, CMB Chief Expert Yener Coşkun emphasized the importance of ESG for REITs and said that the high net asset discount for REITs is a problem for ESG adaptation and that REITs with institutionalization problems should be prepared especially in social and governance areas.

During the session titled “Psychological Security in Corporate Culture” moderated by Avi Alkaş, Chairman of Alkaş & HAN Spaces, Prof. Dr. Acar Baltaş, Founder of Baltaş Group, emphasized the importance of creating an environment where mistakes can be discussed and said, “Every problem has a quick, easy, cheap and wrong solution. This solution creates the infrastructure for a bigger problem."

Speaking at the last session of the summit titled “Environmentally Friendly Investment Practices” chaired by Başak Nur Gökçam, Sustainability Editor of Dünya Newspaper, Altensis Co-Founder Dr. Emre Ilıcalı said: “Sustainability has changed its shape in recent years. With the climate crisis, environmental sustainability has come to cover all of them from the point where we used to look separately as economic, social and environmental sustainability. In terms of sustainability, we first need to solve the risks arising from environmental sustainability." Speaking at the panel, Tolga Öztoprak, General Manager of Türk Ytong, emphasized Greenwashing and said, “It can be observed that interest in environmentally friendly materials has increased. Everyone says that their material is environmentally friendly. The important thing is that this is certified by independent organizations within a life cycle analysis."
