About SREF

The sustainable real assets ecosystem, in one room.

Sustainability, ESG and net-zero strategy in real estate is spread across associations, publishers and platforms that rarely talk to each other. SREF convenes the top 1% of institutional investors, asset managers, advisors and associations in one forum.

Our story

For members, that means one trusted source.

The Sustainable Real Estate Forum was founded with one simple conviction: global industry leadership is built on sound strategy, disciplined execution, and an unwavering commitment to driving thought leadership in sustainable finance and asset management.

We believe in moving beyond simple “self-promotion” to help our partners become trusted, influential voices that inform investor strategy. We leverage case-study-led analysis, global whitepapers, and curated VIP panels to deliver measurable impact from global media influence to direct lead acquisition and deal origination.

We work with dozens of organisations. RICS is our global research partner, and INREV promotes our research free of charge.
