Jones Lang LaSalle to Create Green Training Center for Real Estate Services Industry By Betsy Kraat

CHICAGO--Jones Lang LaSalle plans to establish a Sustainability University to help provide green training in the real estate services sector, as well as increase its LEED and BREEAM-accredited professionals to 500 by the end of next year.

The company will establish a Sustainability University where clients and employees can pursue accreditation for LEED and BREEAM and receive training in strategies for development, management and leasing of green buildings. Jones Lang LaSalle also will boost its number of sustainability-accredited professionals to 200 this year, and to 500 in 2009.

The plan is part of the company's drive to increase its own energy and sustainability expertise in order to lead the industry toward a more sustainable future through promotion of green building technologies for new structures and reducing energy consumption in existing buildings.

The company is also determined to reduce its own carbon footprint through its internal initiative called A Cleaner Tomorrow, which aims to lower emissions, energy and water consumption by occupying greener office space and improving the environmental impact of its corporate travel.
