Sustainable real estate
The real estate industry has a fundamental role to play in decarbonising the economy to achieve sustainable targets. Property companies, investors, funds, developers and advisors are making clear ESG commitments.
As the built environment is a significant contributor to global emissions, decarbonisation is no longer optional for property owners and occupiers. Increasing demand from investors, funders and occupiers for climate-resilient, high-performing, sustainable property, coupled with stringent regulatory requirements, is focusing attention on enhancing sustainability credentials.
We advise landowners and occupiers on the sustainable development and management of their assets, ensuring landlords and tenants can work together to share data and improve environmental performance. We advise on the responsible development of property to meet green financing requirements and achieve decarbonisation and certification targets.
But environmental considerations are only part of responsible real estate. By their nature, buildings become part of the communities around them. A property is a long-term asset, however frequently it is traded, refurbished or redeveloped. This brings with it an opportunity to use buildings for the good of the community, creating value for society.
