CRE industry deepening commitment to building decarbonization

As a way to move the CRE industry forward in decarbonization and pursue their corporate mission, the Cortex Advisory Board meets in person regularly to discuss and collaborate on the most pressing issues.
The perspective each person effectively brings shapes the Cortex product as they strive to create the most comprehensive and useful tool for ESG improvement. With the natural complexity of building decarbonization, this kind of deep collaboration will become increasingly vital.
“The industry is at a crossroads; either we prioritize decarbonization now, or we will not be able to avoid lasting and harmful effects on the planet,” says Cortex CEO, Brian Bennett. “Our advisory board recognizes the importance of using a decarbonization solution that helps save the planet while remaining financially and strategically profitable for the industry. We are excited to have the experienced industry leaders collaborating and committing to join us in developing our solution.”
