Building Lasting Impact: Our Vision for Commercial Real Estate
Berkadia’s 2023 ESG Report details the progress we have made towards advancing our ESG initiatives. We believe our commitment to these strategic areas will create long-term value for our stakeholders and achieve sustainable business success.
Pillars Of Our ESG Strategy
Investing in Our People

Operate Responsibly
By governing our business in responsible ways, we build our clients’ confidence in our ability to effectively act on their behalf and provide ethical and reliable services.
Incorporate Sustainability into Our Products and Services
We help our clients make more sustainable and impactful decisions through our affordable housing business line, green building opportunities, and other integrated solutions.
Care for the Environment
We strive to implement environmentally friendly practices throughout our operational footprint and across our property investments to minimize our environmental impact.
This report covers our progress in 2023 related to our sustainability strategy and management of the ESG risks and opportunities most relevant to Berkadia’s business. We aligned our report with the accounting standards published by the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB), now housed within the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB), related to the mortgage finance and real estate services industries. We also identified several U.N. Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that we believe are most relevant to our business activities and key priority areas.
