BETHESDA, Md. (PRWEB) March 02, 2022 - Temple View Capital, LLC and its affiliates (Temple View), a privately-owned lender to real estate investors, is the first private money originator to be carbon-neutral and promote it as a benefit to its borrowers, partners, staff, and industry peers, as of 2021. The lender is prioritizing building sustainable, equitable, healthy, and diverse communities through a combination of innovative real estate lending solutions and exemplary environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance. In conjunction with its affiliates and managed companies, Temple View will be working with industry leader, South Pole USA, Inc., to deliver near-term efficiency, value, and health for the business, investors, clients, and above all, community by reducing the environmental impacts across its lending and corporate operations

There is an accelerating long-term shift toward sustainable investing and a growing opportunity for us to be leaders in our in our sector and leaders among our peers, says Steven Trowern, co-founder and principal of Temple View. We need to emphasize proactive, progressive sustainability and green investing policies and procedures and products for our customers. It's not just about being stewards of the earth. It's actually good for business.

Understanding that climate change is one of the greatest risks the planet currently faces, and corporate entities contribute to the overall global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions affecting the globe, Temple View is committed to launching a sustainability program with the long-term societal objective of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. The initiative campaign was launched in February 2022 and will continue to be a top priority throughout the year with a big focus and push for pointed messaging on Earth Day, April 22, 2022.

We've made a commitment for our operations to be carbon neutral, effective in 2021, says Michael Niccolini, co-founder and principal of Temple View. The first step is understanding our carbon footprint and South Pole has helped us quantify that portion of our business. They've come in and given us subject matter expertise, working hand-in-hand with our staff to understand what our carbon footprint is and where can we make efforts to mitigate that. They're going to be our partner for years to come, assessing how we're doing on mitigation efforts and ultimately keeping us to that carbon neutral goal.

In addition to partnering with South Pole to achieve these milestones, Temple View is using a multi-pronged approach that addresses the need for increased lending in sustainable homes and engaging with stakeholders that will drive innovation and systemic change, leading to cumulative transformations.

Looking forward, Temple View is aiming to embed environmental stewardship in every aspect of the business, including to minimize its energy, carbon, water, and waste impacts, recognizing that these occur not just at the daily operations level of the companys portfolio, but also through the entire value chain. As a result, the companys ESG committee meets regularly to set goals, budgets, and implementation timelines that monitor both progress and results. Moreover, there will be strategic and intentional engagement with partners and borrowers to educate and underscore the importance of reaching carbon-neutrality in the industry.
