At British Land, we have made significant strides in progressing our sustainability targets, embracing the principle, "what gets measured, gets done." We know that delivering against ESG objectives enhances performance and makes commercial sense; the more sustainable a building, the faster it lets - and at higher rents, with growing evidence showing the most sustainable buildings are worth more and are more liquid in the investment market. Our Chief Operating Officer, David Walker, is featured in this week’s Property Week discussing our strategy to increase accountability and innovation around sustainability for our business and the environment.

🏢 Amidst the current downturn in real estate transactions, there's a recognition that enhancing the environmental and social aspects of assets is crucial for boosting their value. Certifications like BREEAM, LEED, Green Star, and innovative programs like AirRated, initially focused solely on environmental concerns, now incorporate social aspects within ESG practices, acknowledging the built environment's impact on occupant well-being. The social impact of the built environment on occupants, both in the short and long term, has long been acknowledged, yet many companies struggle to fully address it. While ESG targets are pursued, integrating social value activities into core business operations can pose challenges, often relegating them to a lower priority. 🌱 In Deepki’s blog, we explore how companies can turn their social ambitions into actionable strategies by leveraging certifications and labels.

Today’s new Baringa report shows how sustainable retrofitting makes environmental, strategic and commercial sense by increasing value, reducing carbon, operational costs and financial risk, and improving wellbeing for those who live there. Setting out on a sustainable retrofit journey may be overwhelming, but this report sets out some practical advice to help: 👉 Integrate sustainable retrofitting into long-term strategic plans in a phased approach 👉 Bring in regulations, finance and project specialists to navigate the complexities 👉 Make decisions based on energy and performance data to enable prioritisation When we know that our existing buildings contribute 23% of the UK’s carbon emissions, and that 80% of the buildings around today will still be in use in 2050, it’s clear sustainable retrofitting is essential and urgent to achieve net zero. We’re pleased to have contributed to this report, and would like to thank all the authors, partners and collaborators involved: JLL Baringa TrustMark Barclays Corporate Banking We hope you find the report useful: https://lnkd.in/efBNbCRK Daniel Bresgi David Mackenzie Jason Constable Ben Todd Megan Adlen Lee Jackson WholeHouse® Travis Perkins Managed Services #retrofit #netzero #sustainability #wellbeing #valueadd

Generating Premium Investment Returns on the Race to Net Zero 🚀 Green-certified buildings currently command a price premium of 8-18% compared to non-certified ones. But as sustainability becomes the norm, that green premium could flip to a "brown discount" for laggards. A recent survey from Knight Frank found that 41% of property investors are targeting net zero by 2030. And it's not just investors - major corporate tenants are pushing landlords hard on this too. If you own commercial real estate, going green is no longer a nice-to-have - it's where the opportunity is. With the UK government aiming for net zero by 2050 and industry standards like the upcoming Net Zero Building Standard, leading investors and occupiers are finding success in ramping up and executing on their sustainability goals. The means to do this stems from a clear strategy coupling comprehensive data with an understanding of today's scalable solutions. Developing a game plan requires reliable data, expertise to interpret it, and access to evolving clean tech solutions.
