A Letter from Our President, Maureen Waters

As I step into my new role as President, I’m honored to share our continued commitment to what truly matters: putting our customers at the center of everything we do and innovating based on their evolving needs. At Measurabl, we’re more than a platform—we’re your partner on the path to sustainable real estate, supporting a growing ecosystem of customers, from owners and operators to lenders and investors.

Recently, we’ve introduced our new executive leadership team, forged groundbreaking partnerships, and launched Navigate, a powerful, modular suite of next-generation tools designed to simplify sustainability activities. With an emphasis on enhanced data management, streamlined disclosure, and decarbonization solutions, we’re utilizing AI-driven technology to continuously innovate, bringing you features that accelerate your journey. This quarter, we’re rolling out a slate of new features, including custom, real-time portfolio reporting, regulatory compliance navigation, decarbonization scenario analysis and CapEx planning frameworks, all with investment-grade data at the core.

We’ve been fortunate to connect with many of you at recent events like EXPO Real, NYC Climate Week, Impact UK, Blueprint 2024, our London executive roundtable, CRETech NYC, and Greenbuild, and we look forward to continuing the insightful conversations in the months ahead.

In the wake of political shifts and regulatory uncertainty, many of you are asking what’s next for sustainability in real estate. Here’s our perspective: sustainability has a rock-solid business case anchored in the core fact that energy and carbon management are material risk and reward drivers, and regulation has locked that in across the globe. The urgency to transform sustainable real estate to meet today’s sustainability challenges has never been clearer, and we’re rising to the occasion.

To keep you informed and ahead, I’m thrilled to introduce our new and improved Measurabl Minute, which is filled with the latest product updates, resources, industry news, and more. Thank you for the trust and collaboration that propel us forward. Together, we’re defining the future of sustainable real estate.

Maureen Waters

President, Measurabl

How Does Your Portfolio Stack Up Against Peers?

It’s a critical question real estate continues to face in an ever-evolving, competitive market, and it requires objective, reliable sustainability data.
