We are back with an updated and improved version of our popular ESG Essentials course. Join us and receive the latest updates through new content, videos and case studies. ESG is integral to every aspect of responsible and sustainable non-listed real estate investing. It guides investment decision-making as the industry addresses its responsibilities to tackle climate change in the built environment, as well as its efforts to improve the contribution it makes to meeting societal and community needs.
The Attendance Fee is:
€600 for INREV members
€750 for non-members
If you are not an INREV member and wish to register, please contact INREV Academy.

Our updated INREV ESG Essentials online course provides a solid understanding of this integral area of real estate investing. You’ll learn how the industry’s ESG efforts have evolved; how it tackles decarbonisation; the growth of impact investing; and how the industry’s work is being shaped by the reporting and regulatory environments, including our own INREV initiatives.
Emily Hamilton, Head of ESG at Savills Investment Management, will lead the course, which is delivered through five on-demand eLearning modules. You complete these modules in your own time in an informative and interactive learning environment through videos, exercises, case studies and quizzes.
Throughout the four-week course, you are encouraged to share your questions on the Discussion Board. There will be two online Q&A sessions, during which industry experts will answer the questions received. All participants will need to join these Zoom sessions to receive their official Certificate of Attendance.
The course will cover the following topics:
- Module 1: Introduction to ESG
- Module 2: Net Zero pathways
- Module 3: INREV Sustainability Guidelines
- Module 4: ESG-related regulations
- Module 5: Impact Investing
Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:
- Gain a solid understanding of ESG priorities in the non-listed real estate industry today.
- Learn what role the industry plays in the transition to Net Zero.
- Identify and work with Sustainability Guidelines best practices.
- Understand how regulations such as the EU Taxonomy and SFDR have petitioned for greater transparency and accountability in ESG reporting.
- Develop a clear understanding of emerging fields including social impact investing and biodiversity.
This course is targeted at younger professionals in the early years of their careers, or for those that are new to the non-listed real estate industry. ESG Essentials works as an excellent follow-up training from the INREV Foundation Course for those who want to explore ESG in more detail.
