NYC SUSTAINABILITY ADVISORY BOARD ESRT’s SVP, Director of Energy and Sustainability, Dana Robbins Schneider, was appointed to New York City’s Sustainability Advisory Board in 2022 to help inform the city’s PlaNYC strategy. The board is made up of 26 members who advise the city on a range of potential climate initiatives. Achievements over the past year include the release of “Getting 97 Done” and the launch of “97 in Your District,” a collaborative training series. “Getting 97 Done” is a comprehensive plan to reduce energy usage from large buildings with technical and financial assistance. ESRT is the only REIT represented on the board. “I share the knowledge I have been privileged to gain in 25 years in this field to drive continued partnership and effective policy, informed by successful practice, to deliver on Mayor Adams’s vision for a sustainable New York City,” Dana said of her appointment. “My goal is to prove the technical and economic case to decarbonize the built environment and deliver a healthy city, innovation, and job creation for all New Yorkers.”
