Understand
Opportunities only present themselves once you understand the challenges (read)
Whilst the current economic downturn has presented significant challenges to the real estate sector, global issues such as climate change, energy security, and other natural resource shortages are a very real part of our future. Companies also face a growing raft of sustainability and environmental legislation, including a number of green building and green construction codes focused on reducing carbon emissions, water use and promoting waste management.
Our sustainability consultancy team is expert in providing perspective on the big picture issues such as legislative compliance, brand value and financial performance. | |

Prioritise
It is better to manage a few key things well than everything badly (read)
Many companies are currently faced with the reality of wanting to manage their sustainability impacts, but are constrained by the resources with which they are able to do this. Our sustainability team helps companies prioritise the wide ranging sustainability risks and opportunities using a number of techniques including:
- Materiality Assessment – helping companies identify which issues have the greatest value impacts. Materiality assessments also help you to understand how you compare to your peers and other legislative and stakeholder demands.
- The Third Dimension - a unique sustainability risk mapping service used by property investors to identify the exposure of their property portfolio to current and future sustainability risks.
- Stakeholder Engagement – working with key stakeholders (such as employees and investors) we help clients gain a broader perspective on what issues they should be focused on.
