Jones Lang LaSalle recognised as a market leader for Sustainable Real Estate Advice
Jones Lang LaSalle is delighted to have been recognised as a leader in sustainable real estate advice, according to a new report from independent analyst firm Verdantix
Ray Crowley, Verdantix industry analyst and author of the report commented “Jones Lang LaSalle stand out amongst leading firms in terms of services and approach”.
The Verdantix report, Green Quadrant® Sustainable Real Estate Advisors, compares 17 UK real estate agencies on the extent to which they are embedding sustainability advice within their core services.
This is a powerful endorsement of the efforts that have been made within Jones Lang LaSalle to integrate sustainability across key business lines, as well as continuing the legacy of the Upstream Sustainability Services team. We are especially proud of the work which we are doing to evaluate the impact of sustainability factors on property valuations, as well as advising on low energy/carbon retrofits and green building acquisitions. .
Jones Lang LaSalle is customer panel agency firm of choice
The independent panel results also show that sixty per cent of respondents are certain or likely to mandate Jones Lang LaSalle to advise them on the sustainability aspects of real estate projects over the next 18 months.
Due to our extensive experience and skill across the property industry, Jones Lang LaSalle is well positioned to assist clients – whether they are leaders or laggards – in meeting their regulatory obligations, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and maximising business opportunities. We have been involved in a wide variety of projects ranging from building efficiency upgrades, to advising on green building acquisitions, or repositioning an entire property portfolio to reduce resource use and greenhouse gas emissions. This is an area of our business which we expect to grow over time, and as such, the specialist Energy and Sustainability Services team at Jones Lang LaSalle continues to grow to meet this demand.
In line with our Global Sustainability Commitment, we have made a significant investment in training and recruitment to ensure that as a firm, we are able to meet the growing demands of the green economy since we view the increase in sustainability issues as an opportunity to develop and provide new services.
The research is based on in-depth interviews with an independent panel of 15 senior leaders across the real estate investment, development and tenant communities within the UK. Verdantix also interviewed practice leaders from participating real estate advisory firms, carried out desk-top research and engaged advisory firms in a 44 point questionnaire.
