MSCI South Africa Green Annual Property Index 2024
The MSCI South Africa Green Annual Property Index for 2024 continued to reinforce the investment rationale for sustainable, resource-efficient real estate. Longkloof - Growthpoint Properties owned, 4-Star Green Star Existing Building Performance v1 rated, Prime, A-Grade offices in Gardens, Cape Town. Published annually since 2016 in collaboration with the Green Building Council of South Africa (GBCSA) and sponsored by Growthpoint Properties (JSE: GRT), the index offers an independent and globally aligned assessment of how green-certified properties compare to their non-certified counterparts in terms of investment performance. For 2024, the index showed that green-certified Prime & A-grade offices produced a total return of 10.1% which was 120bps above that of non-certified office assets of a similar quality during the year. Since the index's launch in 2016, green-certified offices have outperformed non-certified assets by a cumulative 28.2%, delivering superior capital growth and operational resilience. Timothy Irvine, head of asset management: offices at Growthpoint Properties Lisa Reynolds, CEO at Green Building Council South Africa (GBCSA) Timothy Irvine, head of asset management: offices at Growthpoint, which is at the forefront of green-building certification in South Africa, comments, ' The 2024 MSCI South Africa Green Annual Property Index reaffirms the investment edge of green-certified commercial real estate. The long-term outperformance of green-certified offices signals growing occupier and investor preference for sustainable, resource-efficient real estate and reinforces the strategic competitiveness of portfolios with a strong green building footprint.

Reflecting the growing momentum of green certification beyond the office sector, the index also captured the performance of 33 green-certified retail properties. ' The index has shown over several years that green-certified offices typically have better investment returns than non-certified offices. This year's expansion to include the retail sector is exciting for us and reflects our commitment to supporting the drive for green across all building typologies. Through this expansion, we're looking forward to tracking these results, and bringing new insights to market, ' says Georgina Smit, head of technical, GBCSA. Georgina Smit, Head of Technical at Green Building Council South Africa (GBCSA) Eileen Andrew, Vice President of EMEA Real Estate Client Coverage, at MSCI South Africa 2024 was another year of outperformance for green-certified property This outperformance of green-certified Prime and A-grade offices was driven by a higher capital growth on the back of a 34% higher gross income per square meter, a significantly lower operating cost to income ratio (39% vs 46%) and a 30bp lower capitalisation rate. For green-certified retail property, the outperformance was similar in 2024. Green certified retail property delivered a total return of 13.2%, 130bps higher than that of non-certified retail with the outperformance driven by an 80bp lower capitalisation rate and a 18% higher net operating income per square meter. Similar to the green office sample, certified retail properties also boasted a lower cost-to-income ratio of 41% compared to the 44% of its non-certified peers. Green-certified offices also had a lower discount rate, driven in part by a lower vacancy rate (11.1% vs 14.8% for non-green certified prime and A-grade offices) – reinforcing the premium placed on green office accommodation by occupiers and valuers alike. Long-term outperformance Since the index's inception in 2016, prime and A-grade green-certified offices have consistently delivered stronger capital growth than non-certified office properties each year, underscoring the resilience and value proposition of sustainable buildings. Green-certified office assets have outperformed their-noncertified counterparts by a cumulative 28.2%. While the office sector has led the way in the adoption of green certification, the performance advantage is becoming increasingly evident in the retail segment as well, where a similar return differential emerged in 2024, signalling broader market recognition of the investment benefits of sustainable real estate, ' After nine years of consistent outperformance both on valuations and income, there can be no doubt about the fact that certified properties deliver higher returns to investors. The next step in this journey is to show that certified properties better mitigate climate risk and MSCI is well equipped to do that, ' says Eileen Andrew from MSCI. Lisa Reynolds, GBCSA CEO, adds: ' Our longstanding partnerships around this index are a deep and a solid real investment into providing the property sector with the data and confidence required to build the investment case for green buildings. For some, the question was 'Why should I invest in making my property portfolio green?', now it becomes, 'Why would I not invest in green?'.' As a leader in sustainable commercial property, Growthpoint holds one of South Africa's largest and most varied portfolios of green-certified buildings. These assets not only lower the company's carbon footprint but also support long-term climate resilience central to its ESG strategy. With a clear goal to reach carbon neutrality across its portfolio by 2050, Growthpoint continues to lead in sustainable real estate. Chief operating officer Engelbert Binedell says data from MSCI and the GBCSA is key to shaping Growthpoint's approach. ' We use this data to benchmark performance, refine energy and net-zero targets, and realise the full financial and environmental value of green certification. This data-driven strategy ensures steady progress while meeting the expectations of investors, tenants and society for a low-carbon future. '

Fuller, Bostik (Arkema), Dow Inc Segments Covered Type Application End User Growth Drivers Rapid urbanization, infrastructure development, and increasing demand for sustainable and high-performance bonding solutions in modern construction practices. Global Construction Adhesives Market Overview Market Driver Rapid Urbanization and Infrastructure Development Globally: The ongoing wave of global urbanization, especially across emerging economies in Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East, is a significant driver for the construction adhesives market. With increasing population density in cities, governments and private developers are heavily investing in infrastructure such as residential buildings, commercial complexes, industrial parks, metro systems, bridges, and smart city projects. These developments require high-performance bonding solutions that offer speed, flexibility, and durability—qualities that traditional fasteners often lack. Construction adhesives are preferred for their ability to bond dissimilar materials, reduce labor, enhance structural integrity, and support modern architecture. This surge in infrastructure spending directly amplifies the demand for versatile adhesive systems. Rising Emphasis on Green Buildings and Sustainable Construction: The global shift toward sustainability has redefined procurement policies and material standards across the construction industry. Builders and contractors are now under increasing pressure to use low-VOC, non-toxic, and recyclable materials that align with LEED, BREEAM, and other green building certifications. As a result, water-based and solvent-free construction adhesives are rapidly gaining ground, replacing traditional, pollutant-heavy variants. Adhesive manufacturers are innovating bio-based formulations that meet environmental compliance without compromising on performance. This trend is not limited to developed nations; regulatory bodies in India, China, and Brazil are also promoting green construction. The demand for adhesives that contribute to energy efficiency, thermal insulation, and long-term sustainability is creating new revenue streams for manufacturers. Technological Advancements in Adhesive Chemistry and Dispensing Systems: The construction adhesives market has benefited immensely from breakthroughs in polymer science and precision application technologies. Advanced formulations—such as polyurethane, epoxy, acrylic, and hybrid systems—are now engineered for specific bonding tasks involving wood, metal, plastic, glass, and composite substrates. These high-performance adhesives offer superior resistance to heat, chemicals, and weather conditions. Furthermore, innovations in dispensing equipment, such as automated caulking guns, two-part mixing systems, and peel-and-stick tapes, have streamlined on-site application. This reduces installation time and skilled labor dependency while improving worksite safety and bond quality. These efficiency gains are especially valuable in large-scale commercial and industrial projects, encouraging widespread adoption of modern adhesives over conventional mechanical fasteners. To Purchase a Comprehensive Report Analysis: Market Restraint Unpredictable Raw Material Costs and Supply Chain Instability: Construction adhesives are formulated from key raw materials like acrylics, polyurethane resins, elastomers, and solvents—many of which are derived from petrochemicals. The volatility in crude oil prices, geopolitical tensions, and supply chain disruptions caused by events such as the Russia-Ukraine war or global pandemics have made procurement unpredictable and expensive. Manufacturers often struggle to maintain stable profit margins or offer long-term pricing contracts to B2B clients. Additionally, shortages or delays in sourcing specialty chemicals can slow production timelines, affecting OEM and distributor commitments. This price instability increases the total cost of ownership for end users, which may lead them to reconsider traditional, low-cost bonding alternatives. Stringent Environmental Regulations and Compliance Burdens: Across Europe and North America, regulatory bodies such as the EPA (U.S.), REACH (EU), and regional equivalents are imposing strict controls on the use of hazardous substances in construction materials, including adhesives. These include limits on VOC emissions, use of isocyanates, disposal of non-recyclable packaging, and labeling requirements. To comply, adhesive manufacturers must invest in extensive testing, reformulation, and certification—raising their operational costs. Smaller players in the market may struggle to keep up, resulting in reduced competitiveness. Moreover, delays in regulatory approvals can significantly slow down the launch of new adhesive products. In some cases, products may even be banned or recalled, causing reputational and financial losses. Market Competition from Conventional Bonding Systems: Despite the performance benefits of adhesives, traditional mechanical fasteners such as screws, nails, bolts, and cement-based grouts still dominate certain construction applications, particularly in rural or cost-sensitive markets. Builders in developing regions often prefer these conventional methods due to their familiarity, lower upfront costs, and wide availability. Additionally, adhesives are sometimes perceived as less reliable under extreme conditions (e.g., high heat or heavy structural loads), despite major advancements in adhesive technology. The lack of awareness, training, or skilled labor for adhesive application further restricts adoption. Until these perception gaps and educational barriers are addressed, construction adhesives will continue to face stiff resistance from legacy bonding solutions. Geographical Dominance: Asia-Pacific holds a dominant position in the Construction Adhesives Market, driven by rapid urbanization, industrial expansion, and major infrastructure investments in China, India, and Southeast Asia. Government-backed housing schemes and smart city initiatives are accelerating demand for advanced bonding solutions. Additionally, the region's cost-effective manufacturing capabilities and increasing adoption of sustainable construction materials are propelling strong market growth across both residential and commercial sectors.
