The three core principles of our strategy for CO₂ neutrality.
We aspire to be at the forefront of the transition of real estate to net carbon neutrality.
We do not believe in a box-ticking approach to sustainability. We believe in making a difference and inspiring positive change.
With around 40% of global carbon emissions originating from the built environment, it is our responsibility to reduce the carbon footprint of our buildings, one investment at a time. Working with existing buildings rather than replacing them preserves embodied carbon; redesigning them for today’s occupiers extends their useful life; and retrofitting their systems cuts operational emissions.
As a firm, we are committed to making a positive impact on the environment, on the communities where we invest and in society. We are recognised as global thought leaders in the field of sustainable urban innovation.
Re-planning existing buildings around how people actually use them: more daylight, better air, flexible layouts and shared amenity that make a building attractive to occupiers for longer.
Upgrading envelope, plant and controls to meet the sustainability standards that tenants, investors and lawmakers increasingly require, and using responsive technology to keep consumption low in operation.
Preserving structure, materials and character wherever possible. The most sustainable building is often the one that already exists.
Sustainability, transparency and stakeholder engagement are the foundational principles informing who we are and what we do. We work openly with occupiers, local communities and public authorities throughout the life of each investment.
