A decade ago, sustainability was largely absent from property strategic planning, and now it’s a key driver in almost all business decision making.

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.

🌍 Sustainable Development is Good for the Planet, Great for Returns The real estate and hospitality sectors are at a pivotal point, where sustainable development is no longer an option, but a necessity. As this article shows, environmentally responsible investments are proving just as beneficial for the bottom line as they are for the planet. As global economies grow more conscious of environmental impacts, the business case for sustainable development has never been clearer. Not only does it promote a healthier planet, but it also drives competitive financial returns. When we prioritise sustainability, we unlock a stronger ROI across energy savings, asset longevity, and brand loyalty. At Pro-invest Group, we believe that sustainable development should be recognised as an investment in resilience and in the future of our planet and our industry. By reducing a property’s carbon footprint, we’re not just preserving resources, but positioning ourselves for enhanced financial performance and stakeholder trust, all while protecting the natural environments that people travel to experience. With consumer preferences shifting toward eco-friendly options and governments implementing stricter environmental regulations, investing in sustainability ensures resilient, future-ready assets. From energy savings to increased occupancy rates, sustainable assets promise returns that align with today’s values. Thank you Tamara Thiessen and Hotel Investment Today for this thought-provoking article and for continuing to bring sustainability to the fore. #SustainableInvesting #GreenROI #ProInvestGroup #SustainableDevelopment #Hospitality #HotelInvestment

🌱 Innovating for a Sustainable Future in Property Management 🌱 As we navigate the ever-evolving landscape of property management, one thing is clear: embracing innovation is not just about enhancing efficiency—it's also about paving the way for a more sustainable future. 🌍 Incorporating sustainability into our business practices offers a unique opportunity to stand out in a competitive market while making a positive impact on our environment. Here’s why we should actively seek out sustainable innovations: 1. **Cost Savings**: Sustainable practices often lead to significant cost reductions. From energy-efficient appliances to smart building technologies, the initial investment can yield long-term savings on utility bills. 2. **Regulatory Compliance**: As governments worldwide implement stricter environmental regulations, staying ahead of the curve by integrating sustainable practices can help us avoid potential penalties and ensure compliance. 3. **Enhancing Brand Reputation**: Demonstrating a commitment to sustainability can elevate our brand and foster loyalty among tenants and clients who value corporate responsibility. 4. **Creating a Culture of Innovation**: Encouraging our teams to explore sustainable solutions fosters a culture of innovation. This not only empowers employees but also drives a shared purpose within our organization. However, it’s essential to recognize when certain sustainability initiatives may not be the right fit. Here are some indicators to help guide our decision-making: - **Limited Impact**: If a sustainability initiative isn’t making a measurable difference after a reasonable trial period, it may be time to pivot to a more effective approach. - **Resource Allocation**: If pursuing a green solution is diverting critical resources from other essential areas without delivering clear benefits, it’s wise to reassess our priorities. - **Stakeholder Feedback**: Listening to our team and stakeholders is crucial. If a sustainability initiative is met with resistance or concerns, their insights can guide us toward more effective strategies. Embracing sustainability as a core component of our property management strategy, we not only enhance our business resilience but also contribute to a healthier planet. Let’s innovate, learn, and lead the charge towards a sustainable future! 🌟 #Sustainability #PropertyManagement #Innovation #EcoFriendly #GreenBuilding #FutureReady

What on Earth is a Sustainability Director doing in Senior Living?! I wrote an article called "Building a Sustainable Future in Senior Living: The Five Essential Pillars" because 'Sustainability Director' is a foreign title for our industry, making it vague and confusing to many. In this piece, I dive into the unique and crucial role of a Sustainability Director in the senior living industry. I'll explain why this role matters and introduce the five pillars of sustainability that guide every strategic and operational decision at our properties. My goal is to redefine how senior living communities approach decision-making, ensuring we use a holistic process that preserves our future while meeting today's needs. Doesn't that sound nice?! Over the next few months, I'll be sharing articles that explore each of these pillars in detail, highlighting how they collectively support sustainability in senior living. Join me on this journey to create a more sustainable, innovative, and compassionate future for our senior communities!🎇 https://lnkd.in/gyAzkvrk #SeniorLiving #Sustainability #Innovation #Community #Leadership
