Bloomberg Intelligence and Nareit host first webinar in 2021 series.

On Friday, Jan. 15, Nareit will host the first in its 2021 series of ESG-related webinars and events. The virtual panel discussion, titled ESG Exchange: 2021 REIT Sustainability Outlook, will celebrate the winners of the 15th annual Leader in the Light Awards.

James Risoleo, CEO of Host Hotels & Resorts, elected as 2021 Chair.

REITs and ESG leaders recognized for achievement in sustainability.

DE&I Awards recognize accomplishments by Ventas, Alexander & Baldwin, Essex Property Trust, and JBG SMITH’s Dawnita Wilson.

The council is comprised of CEOs representing every segment of the REIT industry. 

Nareit awards recognize influence and contributions of industry leaders.

FFO rose 5.6% as the economy reopened and REITs display resilience with strong balance sheets, low leverage ratios.

Nareit named Nathaalie Carey to serve as its new senior vice president, industry affairs and social responsibility, effective Nov. 9, 2020. 

Despite better performance, REITs remain underutilized by pensions.
