Every risk except one. Bed bug infestation risk has historically sat in facilities budgets as an unpredictable operational cost: invisible in due diligence, unquantifiable in underwriting, absent from ESG reporting. The briefing — titled The Valuation Blind Spot — maps the regulatory, technological, and market forces that are converging to close this gap, and examines what the evidence from Paris and other early-adopting markets reveals about how quickly the shift is occurring.
