RESTON, Va., Feb. 11, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The 2015 NAREIT® Leader in the Light Working Forum was held recently in Reston, Virginia. The annual Working Forum is a hands-on collaborative workshop that provides NAREIT corporate members the opportunity to advance the sustainability conversation and to better understand leading sustainability practices among their peers.

For the fifth year in row, the Working Forum was facilitated by RealFoundations, a professional services firm focused on helping real estate enterprises around the globe run better.
