CHICAGO (December 21, 2022) – In partnership IREM and Jackson Control, the IREM Foundation is launching a new award to recognize exceptional performance in advancing sustainable properties. This newly created award recognizes the teams of people behind sustainable building performance, and encourages knowledge-sharing to help others on their sustainable property journeys.
“Buildings create 40% of annual global carbon emissions,” says W. J. “Chip” Crumpler, Jr. , CPM® and 2023 IREM Foundation President. “By introducing this new Sustainability Award, we honor high performing teams that contribute to successful sustainability measures. We’re thrilled to partner with Jackson Control to raise awareness of applying ESG standards toward a greener future.”
“Jackson Control is excited to launch the sponsorship of the IREM sustainability awards. How an organization responds to climate risks is a major strategic consideration with long-standing implications for its own future. We’re anxious to recognize the leading companies and individuals with climate change transition plans and demonstrated results." Greg Ericksen, Chairman & CEO, Jackson Control Co. Inc.
ESG is most effective when a partnership exists between all stakeholders, including owners, investors, property managers, maintenance teams, vendors, and even tenants and residents. The Sustainability Awards acknowledge the partnership between all key property stakeholders, and their efforts to use data and research to quantify results.
