DEI and ESG in Commercial Real Estate Gets Support from CRESDA and MBRE
Joan Brothers, CEO Manhattan Boutique Real Estate
Commercial Real Estate Sustainable Development Alliance (CRESDA) supports a national alliance of Certified Women-Owned Business, one of which is Manhattan Boutique Real Estate1 (MBRE).
The CRESDA alliance helps Fortune 500 and other large corporations align with their values and meet their financial goals and promote diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and environmental, social, and governance (ESG).
As part of the collaboration, CRESDA, as an association, sources for diverse real estate suppliers. Some of the members who are participating in these deals include Joan Brothers3 of MBRE, who has been included on a number of RFPs with the State of NY, and Risa Holman of Archer, who is working on a large-scale office deal with Microsoft in Fargo, ND.
According to Joan Brothers, President of MBRE, " It's important to incorporate DEI and ESG practices into our work, and we're proud to be part of a movement that prioritizes these values. As the industry continues to evolve, it's critical that we stay ahead of the curve and provide our clients with the tools they need to invest and advise in properties that meet both their financial and values-driven goals."
CRESDA aims to expand opportunities for Women-Owned, Minority, LGBTQ+, and Veteran-Owned businesses in the commercial real estate industry. Their support of MBRE as an example of a certified Women's Business Enterprise (WBE), shows the association is committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive work environment.
