Companies that occupy office space around the world consider sustainability a key factor in their space occupancy plans, and half of corporate real estate executives say they will pay extra for space in green buildings, according to the fourth annual sustainability survey conducted by CoreNet Global and Jones Lang LaSalle.

Conducted in the fourth quarter of 2010, the survey results reveal a corporate real estate industry in the process of reconciling the focus on reducing environmental impacts of buildings with the need to control costs and support corporate financial performance.

CoreNet Global, the premier association of corporate real estate professionals worldwide, and Jones Lang LaSalle, a leading global commercial real estate services firm, have conducted the survey each year since 2007. Responses come from around the world, with many responses from multi-national corporate executives. Key findings of the survey include:

• sustainability is a critical business issue today for 64 per cent of respondents, and 92 per cent consider sustainability criteria in their location decisions;
• the number of respondents willing to pay more for green leased space jumped from 37 per cent in 2009 to 50 per cent in 2010; and
• 31 per cent of corporate executives ranked employee productivity and health as their top sustainability concern, and an additional 11 per cent rated employee satisfaction as the most important factor.
