Why we’re there

The real estate ESG conversation is shifting — from reporting to resilience and from ambition to accountability

The IMN ESG Forum draws the senior investors, operators, and advisors who are making real decisions about ESG in real estate portfolios — not aspirational ones. The agenda reflects where the industry actually is: ESG as value protection, decarbonization as a capital allocation question, climate risk as a material factor in underwriting and operations, and regulatory disclosure as a compliance reality, not a future obligation.

Greenplaces is here because the data infrastructure behind those decisions matters. Whether it’s the carbon accounting program behind a GRESB submission, the Scope 3 emissions baseline needed for California’s SB 253 disclosure, or the asset-level climate data that informs resilience planning — real estate organizations need a credible, audit-ready data foundation. That’s what Greenplaces builds.

From the stage

Greenplaces is on the stage at IMN ESG 2026

Andrew Rizkallah, Director of Sustainability Reporting at Greenplaces, joins a panel of real estate owners and operators on Day 1 for a candid session on how climate risk is moving from portfolio-level assessment to asset-level action. The conversation focuses on what owners are actually changing at properties today — not what they’re planning to do eventually.

Climate risk to climate resilience: asset-level decisions owners are making

Owners are moving past high-level climate risk assessments toward concrete, asset-level resilience decisions — especially across wildfire, heat, and water exposure. This session focuses on what owners are actually changing at properties today, and how resilience planning is showing up in operations, capital planning, and vendor strategy.

  • How wildfire, extreme heat, and water risk are reshaping asset operations

  • Property hardening measures owners are prioritizing — and why

  • The role of vendors and technology in rapid response and mitigation

  • Where climate models help decision-making — and where on-the-ground realities override them

  • How owners are balancing near-term resilience needs with longer-term planning

  • How to work with your broker to gain access to free resources and reporting to influence the lifecycle of an asset

What we do

Carbon accounting and ESG reporting built for real estate portfolios

Real estate ESG programs face a complexity that most general-purpose software wasn’t designed for — diverse asset classes, multi-entity ownership structures, tenant data dependencies, and a growing set of overlapping regulatory and investor-driven disclosure requirements. Greenplaces gives real estate organizations a single platform to collect, calculate, and report emissions data across the full scope structure, with professional services support at every stage of the process.

GRESB assessment partnership

As an official GRESB assessment partner, Greenplaces provides end-to-end support for the annual GRESB Real Estate Assessment — from energy and emissions data collection across the portfolio to final submission and year-over-year score improvement strategy.

Scope 1, 2, and 3 carbon accounting

Full GHG Protocol-aligned emissions measurement for real estate portfolios — covering landlord energy, purchased utilities, tenant energy (where applicable), and supply chain emissions. Audit-ready documentation built for GRESB, TCFD, CDP, and California regulatory disclosure simultaneously.

California SB 253 and SB 261 compliance

California’s climate disclosure laws apply to real estate companies with California revenue above the disclosure thresholds. Greenplaces builds the baseline emissions data, Scope 3 supply chain accounting, and climate risk documentation the laws require — with annual disclosure support built into the platform.
