Cortland’s Yasha Chaturvedi on Decarbonising Real Estate
Yasha Chaturvedi, Director of Sustainability at Cortland, discusses how she is advancing the real estate investment firm’s journey to become an ESG leader through decarbonising buildings and their energy use.
Beginning her career as an electrical engineer, Yasha was drawn to the built environment for the impact it has on both the environment and the lives of individuals. Today, she is inspired by the urgency of climate change and its impacts.
Yasha is advancing Cortland’s efforts to strengthen its approach to integrating sustainability across its operations, with an emphasis on embedding these principles into business processes and decision-making frameworks where appropriate.
Her team is working to bridge building performance and financial value, exploring ways to design sustainable solutions that can reduce emissions while enriching the lives of those who experience Cortland’s spaces each day.
