APREA Seminar: “Carbon Neutrality and China Real Asset Sustainable Development”

With the 14th Five-Year Plan clearly stating that China will fully achieve the goal of "Carbon Neutrality" by 2060, how will the real asset industry contribute to this goal? How can the different stakeholders contribute to ESG and sustainable development in various aspects of the real asset industry – including construction, operation, investment and management? How can the industry achieve healthy and sustainable development without compromising returns? These are all areas of great concern to real estate practitioners and investors.

The APREA Real Assets Seminar Series - "Carbon Neutrality and China Real Asset Sustainable Development" will focus on how property developers, investors and corporate tenants can effectively achieve carbon neutrality, reduce carbon emissions, meet green building standards and achieve sustainable development. The seminar will provide practical advice on these areas, and share successful cases from the market. We welcome you to register for this event to engage with the real asset industry's preeminent thought leaders and experts.

APREA’s Commitment to Sustainability in Our Events

APREA is committed to making our events more environmentally responsible. We work closely with our event partners, venues, and suppliers to embed sustainability into the way we plan and execute our gatherings across the region. Our goal is to continually reduce our environmental footprint and promote responsible practices across the real assets industry.

Our key sustainability measures in our events include:

  • Sourcing energy-efficient venues with green certifications or demonstrated sustainable operations.
  • Minimizing single-use plastics, including limiting or eliminating plastic water bottles in favor of refill stations or reusable alternatives.
  • Reducing printed materials and handouts.
  • Using recycled or sustainably sourced paper when printing is necessary.
  • Partnering with vendors and caterers who prioritize sustainable sourcing, local produce, and low-waste food practices.
  • Educating attendees on sustainability efforts at the event and encouraging participation in green practices.

Through these steps, we aim to make every APREA event a reflection of our broader commitment to a more responsible and resilient industry.
