The least important considerations were the natural environment (8 percent) and ethical\/moral issues (7 percent), unchanged from the third quarter survey.<\/p>\n<p>The survey noted considerable country variation within issues, particularly amongst that of the business bottom line. It was found to be least important in Germany and Japan, while it was most prominent in Poland and New Zealand. <\/p>\n<p>On average, oil companies and government departments reported willingness to pay higher premiums to occupy sustainable buildings, with the highest premiums offered to occupy sustainable properties paid by Japanese and Mexican oil companies. Amongst government departments, those in the U.S., the United Arab Emirates and Canada were willing to pay the highest premiums.
