Conscious investment in land - ESG and biodiversity

Edward O'Dwyer, Agribusiness Capital Markets, CBRE Asia Pacific

Edward is a local Manly resident after relocating when his family farm was sold in Allora, QLD. Having to rethink his whole life and career, he started his Masters in Corporate Agriculture after mentoring from Manly business people and through his network, gained a position in the newly formed team at CBRE Agribusiness. His passion for the environment has led him to specialise in ESG, Biodiversity & Impact. After 16 months he has brought industry and investment together with large rural properties and transacted deals in the tens of millions. His humour and rural values has been a refreshing change to those he works with, showing it's possible for anyone to change career trajectory to a conscious approach to people & planet in the city.
