BSRIA: Energy & Sustainability Network Meeting IPD’s EcoPAS measurement service, an investor’s

perspective Jess Stevens, Sustainability Product Manager

28 February 2013


• IPD is a global information business, dedicated to the objective measurement of commercial real estate

• IPD recognises the impact that sustainability considerations have on financial performance (both risk and return)

• Data collection is a hugely challenging issue for the investors, as is the definition of what constitutes an ‘environmentally sustainable property’

• IPD is not a certifying body and does not offer a certification tool nor an environmental management tool

Introduction

BSRIA: IPD’s EcoPAS measurement service, an investor’s perspective


• Since 2009, IPD has produced ISPI (IPD Sustainable Property Indicator)

• IPD has been unable to draw any conclusions about any outperformance by the more sustainable properties due to:

- small samples sizes

- the fact that sustainability had not yet been priced into market valuations; and

- no standard definition of a ‘sustainable property’ in the UK

• In order to bridge this gap, IPD, RICS, CBRE, AVIVA Investors, Henderson Global Investors, Hermes Real Estate, L&G and Prupim joined together to create a new, higher level of portfolio-wide environmental metrics

Background



EcoPAS is a comprehensive benchmarking service that:

• measures the environmental risk of every asset in a portfolio;

• identifies what the precise sources of those risks are;

• determines whether a portfolio is exposed to greater risk than its competitors; and

• recognises whether a portfolio is reducing its risk over time and if it is doing so as fast as its competitors

• It is not a management tool, nor a certification tool. It is a whole portfolio service to which portfolio managers are subscribing. It is a service created by investors and valuers, for investors and valuers.

• Feedback from existing EcoPAS participants and valuers:

- Data collection process (valuer, investor, IPD)

- Questions (amendments/additions)

- Difficulties/challenges

- EcoPAS Benchmark Report (current data analysis)

• Further enhance and grow EcoPAS in the UK:

- RICS support (seminars, conferences, guidance)

- Increase the current EcoPAS sample size to continually improve findings and make them more meaningful

• Expansion of EcoPAS to other markets

- France

- Netherlands

Next steps



Conclusions


• Industry-lead

EcoPAS is an excellent example of how the industry has organised itself to create a solution for a shared-problem

• Driven by IPD

IPD follows an independent and transparent measurement approach, which is crucial to the development and progress of this initiative

• In order to ensure sustainability’s place in core real estate analysis

Although the first EcoPAS pilot is a good step in the right direction and has achieved great market coverage, sustainability can only grow in its importance of being considered a key driver in investment performance
