The team currently consists of 20 Sustainability and Building Performance specialists working with clients to improve the environmental performance of their properties portfolios. Considering environmental compliance, resource use and social impact is an integral part of property management.
With 300 Planners developing new projects across the business, the Sustainability team has direct access to a huge array of projects and clients.
An award winning Sustainability team that works in close conjunction across a wider in-house green hub comprising additional service offerings including Energy Services, Technical Sustainability, ESG and Intelligent Buildings, making an overall Green Hub of over 70 consultants that are all focused on delivering award winning sustainability solutions.
