You may have heard people talking about sustainability, Net Zero, future proofing, institutional funding, socially conscious investing, Environmental and Social Governance or ESG and thought what’s it all got to do with me as an expat property investor.
Well hopefully, after listening to this week’s show, you’ll be a little closer to finding out.

Anna Clare Harper is an expert in sustainable property investment and co-founder of Green Resi which helps institutions to future proof and grow UK residential portfolios.

In fact she’s so knowledgable about sustainable portfolio building that not only has she written three books about it, but she’s regularly invited by the likes of The Financial Times, Forbes and the BBC to give her opinion on the subject.
Anna also hosts a podcast: The Return of Anna Clare Harper.
During the show, we discuss:
- Increasing interest in sustainable property investment
