“What gets measured gets done” as the saying goes. This week in Property Week we shared our thoughts about some of the ways the right measurement, incentivisation and collaboration supports progress against our ESG strategy at British Land
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.

𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗽 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗡𝗲𝘁 𝗭𝗲𝗿𝗼 𝗯𝘆 𝟮𝟬𝟱𝟬 ♻️🌳 Central is proud to announce the launch of its new Carbon Reduction Plan, which aims to measure, monitor, and reduce the carbon footprint effectively. James Broady MIOR, Group Managing Director, said “As a company, we recognise the environmental impact of our operations. We believe it is our responsibility to help mitigate the worst impacts of climate change, ensuring a prosperous future for generations to come.

Last Friday, Swiss Sustainable Finance (SSF) published a spotlight paper for Direct Real Estate Investors seeking to integrate complex legal requirements into their strategic alignment with the SDGs. While the regulatory landscape for real estate companies in Switzerland is driven by the Code of Obligations, the Ordinance on Climate Disclosures and the Climate and Innovation Act, corporates in the European Union are facing challenges linked to the European Green Deal, EU-Taxonomy and the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD). To increase transparency and comparability, the market offers a huge variety of labels, benchmarks and building certifications, such as the Swiss Cantonal Energy Certificate for Buildings (GEAK), Minergie, Swiss Sustainable Building Standard (SNBS), Swiss Sustainable Real Estate Index (SSREI) to name just a fraction of them. Integrating sustainability factors in direct real estate investments is key for sustainable growth in the long run. Sustainability is at the forefront, with global initiatives like the Paris Agreement driving change. Switzerland is committed to reducing carbon emissions, with an ambitious goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. Contact us to find out how we can help you navigate your ESG transformation!

Climate and sustainability leader passionate about designing and implementing innovative triple bottom line solutions
Excited to be part of this collaborative global effort and even more excited to share the results. Sustainable finance tools are increasingly critical in driving the transition to a low-carbon economy. At the same time, there's a need to enhance the financing sector’s understanding of the role buildings and green building certifications can play in decarbonization as well as a need to increase knowledge within the real estate sector of how to fully leverage these financing instruments. "Financing Transformation" aims to address those gaps by demonstrating how certification systems like LEED can provide credibility and standardization in evaluating and certifying green building projects. https://lnkd.in/g7TKqZVw This guide represents a first of its kind collaborative effort between major players including U.S. Green Building Council, BRE, Singapore Green Building Council, Alliance HQE - GBC, Green Building Council of Australia.
