inclusive living, senior housing, social taxonomy, certification protocols, sustainabilityAbstract
The growing focus on senior housing is shifting the real estate market paradigm, attracting the attention of financial operators and investors to the sector’s ESG (environmental, social, and governance) sustainability. Measures introduced by the European Union on carbon neutrality and sustainable finance require implementing regenerative processes and management models within integrated decarbonisation scenarios and verifying the 2030 Agenda objectives, such as reducing the environmental footprint and generating economic and social benefits. The research defines a tool to support the design of senior housing practices from an ESG perspective, proposing a positive social impact taxonomy designed to bridge the current knowledge gap and support this transition.
