Kenya's property market has enjoyed progressive expansion which has been attributed to a number of factors, stimulating growth in the sector. These factors include among others, good corporate governance, radical legal reforms in the sector, diversified funding mechanisms and cost management, innovative technological trends and utilization of sustainable building construction materials.
These practices have gained prominence, stimulating an upsurge in investments across the sector. However, their adoption has also been marred by inadequate awareness questioning its practicability in the Kenyan context.
As the government strives to put the country on the global map as a sustainability thought-leader, the biggest concern remains what this means for corporates. With the evolving nature of these factors, focus must be put on how to tap ESG as a driver of development and profitability.
Join us on 27th September 2022 at Radisson Blu Hotel- Upperhill Nairobi for the KPDA CEO'S Morning Learning Session themed: Best Practices in Sustainable Real Estate as we cover topics ranging from:
· Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG)- Understanding opportunities as well as threats posed by ESG strategies and ESG reporting
· Trends and Issues in Project Management
· Real Estate Financing and Investing
· Sustainability of the sector through alternative building construction materials
· Urban Regeneration through Master-Planned developments
We are looking forward to seeing you there!
