Four Seasons Hotel Singapore, L20 Window West
The next session of our full day in-person course on Sustainability for REITs is scheduled for Friday, 8 November. This is the second and final run of this course this year following excellent feedback from previous attendees.
The course is designed to provide junior and middle management working across different functions in a REIT with a comprehensive and practical understanding of how sustainability issues impact REIT management. The emphasis of the course is on the real-world application of environmental and stakeholder considerations when managing a REIT as well as on key aspects of sustainability-related regulations, finance and reporting. Instructors are senior practitioners in the REIT and real estate sustainability fields.
6 supplementary CPD points will be awarded to attendees upon request.
This course is designed to equip aspiring and new directors of REIT managers with the foundational knowledge required for this role. It fulfils the new requirement by SGX (effective 1 February 2024) which requires mandatory training for first-time directors of REIT managers. As Singapore REITs have a trust structure, potential directors of a REIT manager need additional understanding with regard to REIT regulations, taxation, accounting and management that go beyond that required by directors of other listed companies. The course will go over the unique aspects of being a director of a REIT manager and is taught by senior practitioners from the REIT industry.
