As a result, the most polluting sectors must implement the necessary measures to reduce their environmental impact. Real estate, which accounts for around 40% of the world's CO2 emissions, is facing this problem more than ever (JLL, 2021). Indeed, real estate has a considerable impact on the environment, not only in terms of CO2 emissions, but also energy and water consumption, construction waste, the use of natural resources and its impact on biodiversity. As a result, it has become necessary to introduce environmental standards in this sector, in order to limit environmental impact as much as possible. In France, for example, the real estate sector accounts for around 14% of the gross value added of the French economy (Part du secteur immobilier dans la valeur ajoutée brute (VAB) de l'économie française Statista report, 2020). This means that the real estate sector has a considerable weight in the country's economy, but also a significant environmental impact. This is why environmental standards have been introduced in the country, such as 2012 Thermal Regulation, which sets energy performance requirements for new residential and tertiary buildings. Or also, the tertiary sector decree, which came into force in 2019, requires all existing tertiary buildings to reduce their energy consumption by at least 40% by 2030, 50% by 2040 and 60% by 2050, compared with 2010 levels. Environmental labels have also been created to raise awareness in the sector. However, the introduction of the new standards is bound to have an impact on the sector, and on real estate investment companies in particular. Indeed, a real estate investment company is a company or entity that specializes in real estate investment with the aim of making a financial profit. These companies can operate in a variety of real estate fields, such as the purchase, ownership, management, rental, sale or development of real estate assets. The activities of a real estate investment company may include the purchase of commercial properties, residential properties, office buildings, hotels, land, industrial properties or other types of real estate, depending on the company's investment strategy. They may also include property management, seeking out new investment opportunities, negotiating rental agreements, carrying out development or renovation work, and selling properties with a view to realizing capital gains. As a result of their missions, the new environmental standards now in force are bound to have an impact on the way these companies operate.
