This book looks into different aspects of implementing ESG into real estate contracts from a European perspective. It covers general aspects, contract-type specific aspects and then property usage-type specific aspects. General topics cover legal frameworks, the social and governance perspective based on EU sustainable finance regulations. Contract-type specific questions cover different contract types. The team of authors then addresses specific issues relating to different types of property use such as office, retail, logistics, hospitality and data centres. The focus of the work is on EU, so that the content can provide food for thought for the work in different EU countries. The book thus supports practitioners in compiling their personal toolkit for use in individual cases. Content: - Terms, concepts and basics of sustainability, CSR and ESG - What ESG in real estate contracts means - Standards for (non-financial) sustainability reporting, CSRD and ESRS - Climate litigation, energy and renewables, data - Sustainability and competition law, brownfields - Pre-contracts and recitals - ESG and real estate investment, leases, real estate financing
