Moving Beyond the LEED Checklist:  Measuring ESG Impacts

Recorded on Wednesday, February 15th at 1 pm EST

LEED buildings are critical to addressing climate change and meeting ESG goals, enhancing resilience, and supporting more equitable communities. However, many projects fall short of meeting such ESG initiatives through a lack of rigor and measurement. Companies, investment funds, and building assets are now increasingly being asked by investors and regulators to back up ESG commitments with real-world measured performance - but how?

Moving Beyond The LEED Checklist: Measuring ESG Impacts

This webinar addresses some of the software tools available to help save project teams time and money in managing LEED documentation while gaining an understanding of how to measure the ESG impacts of green buildings and achieve Innovation Points by using a Triple Bottom Line (financial, social, and environmental) framework.

About Green Badger

Green Badger provides innovative software solutions that empower construction professionals to build sustainably by automating LEED compliance and accurately tracking and reporting ESG metrics. Pairing user-friendly software with powerful data analytics and industry-leading customer support, Green Badger saves project teams hundreds of hours per project and helps ensure sustainability goals are achieved.
