Make Paris Proof Investable

The session demonstrates how Paris Proof targets can be translated into investable propositions through the smart use of subsidies and incentives. These mechanisms reduce initial CAPEX and risk, making decarbonization measures financially viable and bankable. Sustainability is not an add-on, but has a direct impact on cash flows, risk, and real estate valuations. By quantifying ESG impact (such as lower energy costs, CO₂ reduction, or subsidies) in financial terms, it becomes clear how sustainability drives stronger financial performance and higher asset value.

Subsidies and incentives act as a catalyst: they enable organizations to implement the right measures at the right time, strengthen the business case, and accelerate the transition to Paris Proof real estate.

This translates into financial value through:

• Improved financing and refinancing opportunities
• Increased investor confidence
• Higher and more stable property valuations, as ESG is increasingly embedded in valuation methodologies

By quantifying ESG in monetary terms and making it investable, sustainability shifts from a compliance topic to a core value driver for real estate and financing.

BDO combines sustainability, accounting, valuation, and financing into one integrated model: ESG is directly linked to the balance sheet, P&L, and valuations, rather than treated as a separate report. Participants learn how to turn sustainability into financial value and investability.
