NYC SUSTAINABILITY ADVISORY BOARD In December 2022, ESRT’s SVP, Director of Energy and Sustainability, Dana Robbins Schneider, was appointed to the New York City’s Sustainability Advisory Board. The board is made up of 24 members who will advise the city on a range of potential climate initiatives, including energy, transportation, waste management, and expanding New York City’s green space, among other areas of importance. 4 ESRT is the only REIT represented on the board. “I look forward to sharing the expertise I have been privileged to gain in over 20 years in this field to drive continued partnership and effective policy, informed by successful practice, to deliver on Mayor Adams’ vision for a net zero New York City,” Dana said of her appointment. “We will prove the technical and economic case for decarbonization while also delivering a healthy and equitable built environment, innovation, and job creation for all New Yorkers.”
