Galion is proud to have been selected as a participating company in the Sustainable Real Estate White Paper Initiative, whose first workshop was held on Monday, June 9, at HEC Montréal.

The Sustainable Real Estate White Paper is an initiative of Décarbone+, a non-profit organization dedicated to accelerating the decarbonization of organizations in Quebec. The project is supported by two co-founding partners, Hydro-Québec and the Caisse de dépôts et placements (CDPQ), as well as several other financial partners.

Why participate?

• Because the risks associated with inaction are becoming clearer.
• Because energy-intensive or carbon-intensive buildings will gradually become liabilities for their owners and lenders.
• Because it is now possible to act quickly, with tangible benefits in terms of both energy performance and asset valuation.

This post, the first of its kind in Quebec, aims to increase the financial sector’s commitment to decarbonizing the real estate market and standardize the risk and opportunity assessment parameters used by the financial community. By catalyzing best practices, the White Paper on Sustainable Real Estate will enable a wider deployment of decarbonization solutions among real estate players and a better capture of the value of sustainable practices.
