🌍 Decarbonisation is Now a Must for Real Estate and Health Sectors As #RealEstate continues to evolve, sustainability is becoming non-negotiable. One of the UK’s largest real estate lenders, with a £21B portfolio, has set a new bar—no loans without a #decarbonisation plan. This change is significant for sectors like technical real estate, health, and life sciences, where sustainable and innovative infrastructure is critical. It's beyond just accreditations. #BREEAM, #LEEDS, #WELL, #Passivhaus etc are great, but they have the effect of boiling down sustainability to a tick box exercise! We’re absolutely committed to leading the charge, helping our clients align with these evolving ESG standards while continuing to deliver cutting-edge, flexible, and future-ready spaces. Whether it’s life sciences R&D facilities, healthcare centres, or other technical real estate developments, the integration of sustainable building practices is now a necessity to secure both investment and long-term success. We’re ready to embrace this shift—are you? #Sustainability #TechnicalRealEstate #Healthcare #LifeSciences #GreenBuildings #ESG #Decarbonisation #RealEstateInnovation (Image by DALL-E with relevant prompt)
