Capitalizing on ESG: A Critical Assessment of Financial Benefits, Market Adaptation and Regulatory Influence in Real Estate

ESG impact on Real Estate Asset Valuation & Tenant Acclamation

Dear Recipient,
my name is Lilo Pentzlin, a final-year Management student at ESCP Business School. With a long-standing passion for real estate—sparked at age 14 through studies in construction engineering and hands-on experience in property and project management—I am now focused on exploring how Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors are influencing real estate valuation for my thesis.
I am conducting research to examine whether ESG compliance truly drives asset value or if it’s primarily a strategic tool to attract capital. Your input would be incredibly valuable to this study, and I would be grateful if you could answer a brief set of questions, rating responses from 1 (least significant) to 10 (most significant).
Thank you for your time, and please let me know if you would like to receive the results of my research once completed.
Best regards,
Lilo Pentzlin
