CBRE to Invest in, Roll Out Real Estate Sustainability Platform Deepki
Commercial real estate services and investment firm CBRE Group announced a global strategic partnership between its property management group and real estate sustainability data solutions provider Deepki, including plans to globally deploy its landlord-focused real estate sustainability data-intelligence platform Deepki Ready.
Founded in 2014, Deepki provides a platform enabling real estate players to collect energy, water and waste consumption data, and use data intelligence to improve assets’ environmental performance, support net zero efforts and measure results. Deepki Ready includes modules for automated data collection, dashboards, ESG scores and site evaluation, performance monitoring and benchmarking, long-term planning and reporting.
CBRE also announced that it will make a strategic minority share investment in Deepki.
Emma Buckland, Global President of Property Management at CBRE, said:
“Property owners are increasingly turning to CBRE for help in meeting their decarbonization and other sustainability goals. Deepki is a leading sustainability data-intelligence platform for real estate that provides deep insights that will enable our teams to take informed actions at the building level. This will help us embed sustainability best practices – and add real value – at properties we manage around the world.”
Under the new partnership, Deepki will be deployed across CBRE-managed properties throughout Continental Europe, with plans to roll it out in the Americas and Pacific region as well. CBRE has already been using Deepki in the UK for more than two years.
The companies have also entered an exclusive reseller agreement enabling CBRE to offer Deepki Ready to property management clients in the Americas and Asia Pacific region.
Vincent Bryant, CEO and co-founder of Deepki, said:
“We are extremely proud to be partnering with CBRE, whose outstanding reputation in the real estate space speaks for itself. This partnership is a validation of our market-leading solution and marks a crucial step in our go-to-market strategy to help real estate players tackle climate change and meet net zero targets, particularly in the Americas and the Asia Pacific region.”
