Blackstone (NYSE:BX) today announced that Eric Duchon has joined
the firm in the newly created position of Global Head of Real
Estate ESG. Eric will work closely with Real Estate Asset
Management teams across the globe to build on existing
environmental, social and governance efforts and scale them across
the firm’s $329 billion global real estate portfolio. He will also
work with the Real Estate team’s portfolio companies to ensure that
the firm’s commitment to sustainability and diversity and inclusion
are fully integrated across asset classes and geographies.
Eric will report to Giovanni Cutaia, Global Head of Real Estate
Asset Management, and will coordinate closely with Blackstone’s
corporate ESG leaders.
Mr. Cutaia said “Sustainability, social engagement, and good
governance have been core priorities for our business for many
years, and we are committed to continually evaluating how we can do
more. Eric brings more than a decade of real estate ESG experience
to the table, and we’re thrilled to have him on board as we
continue to find new ways to expand our impact.”
“The breadth and reach of Blackstone Real Estate is remarkable.
I’m excited to work with Blackstone’s global team and build on
their existing ESG efforts to further scale the positive impact,”
Eric said.
Blackstone has been focused on ESG for over a decade and
recently announced a commitment to reduce carbon emissions by 15%
across all new investments where Blackstone controls energy usage.
The firm also recently set a target of one-third diversity on
portfolio company boards for new control investments in the U.S.
and Europe starting in 2021 as well as established a hiring program
designed to identify, recruit and retain candidates from
underserved communities for middle-skilled roles across our
portfolio.
Blackstone Real Estate has achieved a number of significant
milestones across its portfolio to date, including installing
10,000 rooftop solar panels at Stuyvesant Town and reducing carbon
emissions by 30% at Hilton between 2008 and 2018. Additionally,
through energy consumption improvements, Blackstone’s Willis Tower
became the largest building in the U.S. to earn a LEED Platinum
rating.
Prior to joining Blackstone, Eric was the Global Head of
Sustainability at LaSalle Investment Management, where he was
responsible for the firm’s ESG strategy and policy implementation
for the private equity, securities, and indirect businesses
globally. During his time at LaSalle, Eric spearheaded initiatives
that advanced the firm’s ESG program significantly, resulting in A+
UN PRI scores and GRESB score increases of ~30% across global
submissions, and led the adoption of the firm’s climate change and
net zero carbon commitments globally. Previously, Eric was also the
Director of Sustainability Strategies at Cushman &
Wakefield.
Eric holds a BBA from Goizueta Business School at Emory
University and a Masters in Real Estate Development from the Schack
Institute of Real Estate at New York University.
