The senior housing and healthcare asset class from an ESG perspective

From an ESG perspective, the seniors housing and healthcare sector ticks all the boxes. In terms of a level playing field and universal language, we need more research on standards, insight into OPCO and PROPCO, and validated ESG data. Measuring environmental performance (e.g. energy consumption and CO2) is becoming part of everyday practice, but how do we measure ESG impact? How do we consider valuation: at the asset level or at the societal level? And at what level do we need to address governance? How do investors implement ESG strategies? Does the social side of this asset class make it more attractive to investors?

SENIOR HOUSING & HEALTHCARE SUMMIT 2023

SHHA at MIPIM 2023

SHHA at EXPO REAL 2022

There was a lot to talk about regarding the senior housing and healthcare investments at the upcoming EXPO REAL in Munich. How do investors perceive this asset class compared to others? Is it still attractive and resilient as it was before Covid pandemic? Did inflation, growing construction prices, shortage of care workers and changing the approach of the investors? Or apart from the hurdles, aging demographics makes this asset class uncorrelated with the economic trends?
