Paris-based ESG data firm Deepki is making a bold move into the U.S. commercial real estate market, announcing plans to grow its American team from around 12 employees to nearly 100. The company, which already monitors $5 trillion in assets across 80 countries, is ramping up its U.S. presence to meet surging demand for climate risk mitigation, energy efficiency, and sustainability-driven asset performance.
Deepki’s U.S. expansion reflects a broader shift in CRE from ESG discussion to implementation. “We enable companies to lead, not just comply, by turning sustainability into a profit driver,” said CEO Vincent Bryant. In the face of mounting climate risks—from hurricanes to wildfires—the company sees a growing opportunity to help property owners reduce exposure, lower operating costs, and increase returns.
The firm’s data platform is used by major institutions including the French government, Generali Real Estate, and SwissLife Asset Managers to optimize ESG strategies and align with global decarbonization goals. In the U.S., Deepki will focus on helping owners cut energy and waste costs while integrating climate risk assessments into their asset management practices.
This move comes as CRE faces increasing pressure from investors, regulators, and insurers to address sustainability. Despite recent political headwinds—including efforts to curtail ESG programs—momentum continues. JPMorgan Chase recently announced it will study how climate-related hazards affect property insurance and lending. Meanwhile, firms like Galvanize Climate Solutions are executing high-profile acquisitions to decarbonize buildings and capitalize on green premiums.
Beyond the U.S., Deepki is also expanding its footprint in Europe and eyeing markets in Asia and Australia. According to Bryant, the company is positioning itself ahead of tightening regulations in sustainability-forward regions like Singapore and Australia, where investor demand for ESG-aligned strategies is accelerating.
With its U.S. expansion, Deepki aims to become a leading partner for real estate owners navigating climate risk and ESG mandates—transforming sustainability from a compliance challenge into a strategic advantage.
