Creating Collaborative Owner-Tenant Relationships

We set the global standards for green lease and performance-based lease language that fosters collaboration between landlords and tenants. These leases break down the split-incentive barrier and fairly align financial and environmental benefits of sustainability initiatives to both parties.

The Green Lease Leaders application portal is open and accepting applications for 2025 recognition. Deadline extended to April 18.
