ATLANTA - July 15, 2026 - PRLog -- CoreNet Global, the leading association for corporate real estate (CRE) professionals, released a new report examining how organizations are evolving their environmental,
social and governance (ESG) strategies as energy efficiency, resilience, and business performance become increasingly interconnected.

Titled Energy Is at the Forefront in the Next Phase of ESG, the report explores how corporate real estate leaders are balancing sustainability goals with economic realities while navigating rising energy demand, aging infrastructure, technological advances, and evolving regulatory requirements. Featuring insights from industry leaders at Deloitte, EY Parthenon, and JLL, the report examines how organizations are increasingly prioritizing investments that deliver both environmental and financial value.

"Corporate real estate leaders are increasingly looking beyond ESG reporting to focus on initiatives that create measurable business value," said Sonali Tare, Vice President, Strategic Content, CoreNet Global. "Energy has become a clear area where sustainability, resilience, cost control, and business performance intersect. This report explores how CRE teams are helping organizations navigate that shift and identify opportunities that support both environmental goals and long-term operational priorities."

Among the report's key themes:
● The growing business case for energy efficiency and resilience.
● How organizations are shifting ESG efforts beyond reporting and compliance toward measurable
value creation.
● The expanding role of smart buildings, AI, and digital technologies in optimizing energy
performance.
● Why existing buildings present one of the greatest opportunities to reduce emissions while
improving operational efficiency.
● How corporate real estate teams are helping organizations balance sustainability priorities with
cost, resilience, and long-term portfolio strategy.
