EVENT DETAILS
On May 6, the AmCham Real Estate Committee organized a meeting entitled How Green is your Future Lease. Our speakers were from AmCham member companies, Aleksander Grabecki, Advocate, Senior Associate of the CMS Real Estate and Construction Department, and Maciej Traczyk, JLL’s Director.
During the meeting, we focused on the practical aspects of green leases in the office sector. We shared knowledge about incorporating sustainable development and environmentally friendly practices into the terms and conditions of lease agreements, including current trends and standards in the office rental market, and we concluded the meeting with a discussion about factors influencing the attractiveness of the office and data from other European jurisdictions illustrating the approach to the green lease concept and market forecasts.
As the EU adopted a set of policies fit for reducing net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030, some questions from the audience regarded where we stand now in achieving this goal. The participants emphasized the lack of financial support from the financial institutions and low social awareness, especially in the areas outside big cities, where barriers to action remain.
