SUSTAINABLE Working
We recognise the important role we play in reducing energy that will ultimately effect our carbon emissions.
With the property sector responsible for 38% of energy-related carbon emissions, we’re committed to carbon-reducing design and investing in energy-efficiency measures across our entire portfolio.
Our current position
Achieving BREEAM excellence since 2010
We’ve worked on environmental developments that have achieved BREEAM Excellent standards and have more properties in the pipeline designed to achieve the same standard.
Boosting energy performance
We’re also investing to retrofit projects across several of our properties to improve their energy performance and reduce operational energy intensity by up to 20%.
Investing in renewable energy generation
We’ve installed 1,100m2 of solar panels across our sites which generated more than 156,000kwh in 2024 alone.
Going green for our electricity needs
We use green electricity tariffs to cover any additional electricity consumption beyond the green energy we generate across our sites.
Enhancing EPC ratings
We’ve worked to facilitate the improvement of more than 50% of our clients’ EPC ratings since 2013.
IMPLEMENTATION
Sustainable properties
We’ve implemented comprehensive green travel plans for our occupiers and colleagues, including greener alternatives like:
- Promoting green travel has reduced single occupancy car journeys by almost 10% on one site with nearly 50% of occupants at another using alternative modes of transport to a car.
- Encouraging a cycle-to-work scheme which includes regular bike workshops to promote further scheme uptake.
- Providing subsidised bus routes.
- Installing EV chargers across a number of sites with a wider rollout planned.

Our future commitments
- To achieve BREEAM Excellent ratings for each new development.
- To support the continued rollout of green travel initiatives for occupants across the sites we own and manage.
- To continue investing in energy efficiency measures across our entire portfolio.
- To strategically advise and support our clients in retrofitting and refurbishing properties to increase their energy efficiency.
