Asia-Pacific companies willing to pay higher rent for green buildings to reach net zero carbon goals

Most companies in the Asia-Pacific are willing to pay a premium to rent space in sustainable buildings as they look to make good on their sustainability pledges, real estate consultancy JLL said.

While 70 per cent of occupiers in the region were willing to pay a rental premium for green space, that ratio was lower at 62 per cent among those in Hong Kong, according to a survey of 550 industry leaders across the region by JLL.
