ESG Solutions for Multi-Unit Operators

REQUEST A DEMO

As environmental regulatory standards and market preferences develop, we recognize that every business is in the sustainability business.

Further, we’re watching emerging environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) reporting requirements, whether in the form of government mandates, market demands or private disclosure and diligence materials. If your capital providers, franchise brand, potential buyers, accounting teams and regulators are not asking about ESG-related information yet, we’re anticipating they will be.

Your leased locations and franchisee operations are absolutely part of your brand’s sustainability and ESG profile.

CHECKMARK What cost-effective measures can you implement to maximize sustainability at the leased-asset level?

CHECKMARKWhat tools will help you report out on sustainability and relevant ESG metrics?

Property Works is in research & development mode to answer these questions.
