EY Partners with Fifth Wall to Promote Real Estate Sustainability

Ernst & Young LLP (EY US) will collaborate with venture capital firm Fifth Wall, to increase awareness and mitigation of real estate’s impact on climate change with a suite of interactive tools to further companies’ understanding of their carbon footprint and reduce their emissions.  

To that end EY US and Fifth Wall teamed up to develop an interactive website, A Climate-Positive Future for Real Estate, to help companies across the US manage and reduce their carbon footprints. 

“Our goal is to help companies create their own sustainable future,” said Mark Grinis, EY Americas Real Estate, hospitality & construction leader. “By providing three frameworks for decarbonization — legislation, carbon strategy and reporting, and technology — we are thrilled to be working with Fifth Wall to help organizations navigate the journey to net zero, whether they’ve already taken steps to reducing their carbon footprint or are just getting started.”
