Commercial real estate sustainability for tenants

Our comprehensive range of services has been created to enhance the long-term performance of both the organisations, and the investment funds, of our clients.

We advise them on creating and implementing ESG or Responsible Property Investment strategies. Our experts closely monitor the strategy post-implementation, capturing key data and reporting against the value generated from the changes.

We also advise on your investor reporting channels through systems such as GRESB, INREV and CDP (formerly the Carbon Disclosure Project) making sure that the information gathered and reported is accurate and relevant.

We support our clients by gathering crucial data, and establishing effective monitoring systems to track the impact of new sustainability policies.

Based on the results, we can help to fine-tune a sustainability strategy. The range of related services we provide includes everything from pre-acquisition sustainability due diligence, support with lease negotiations and agreements, to target setting.

The regulatory reports we can assist with include Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES), CRC, ESOS and GHG reporting, amongst others.

For our clients it’s also a matter of reputation, demonstrating to occupiers and other stakeholders their commitment to making a difference.

Our mission is straightforward - to help you to cut your energy costs and reduce carbon emissions through our three core services:

ENERGY SAVING PROGRAMME (ESP)
We undertake a thorough review of an asset’s energy performance and identify appropriate solutions. The combined expertise of our team is deployed to find the best fit for the client’s business and asset type. In our experience the savings we generate make the service cost neutral to both tenants and landlords.

OPERATIONAL ENERGY REVIEW (OER)
With an OER, our focus is on raising occupier satisfaction. We directly engage the occupier in relation to their energy usage, and determine opportunities to reduce energy wastage.

ENERGY AUDIT (EA)
Our comprehensive energy audit entails one of our experts visiting our client’s site. We conduct an in-depth review of current energy use, and present tailored solutions based on our findings. We identify potential longer-term savings, which could also enhance the asset’s value.

Ensuring the wellbeing of your staff is key to talent retention, as well as boosting productivity and reducing hours lost through ill health.

Occupiers
We understand the relationship between employees’ physical and mental health and their effectiveness at work. Which is why we’ve created a broad range of consultancy services designed to enhance the working environment, making it genuinely fit for purpose.
Our team reviews existing workplace practices and identifies areas for improvement. Working closely with the client, we prepare an improvement plan based on our conclusions and their input, using accreditations such as The Well Building Standard, Reset or Fitwel as guidance. Finally, we monitor the implementation and progress of the plan, making sure that the agreed health and wellbeing objectives are met and the benefits communicated to all stakeholders.

Developers
The importance of workplace health and wellbeing can’t be understated. For the developer and landlord gaining an accreditation such as Fitwel, Well Building or/and Reset isn’t just good practice – it’s good business.

We make our clients’ workplaces more appealing to prospective occupiers, and help to future-proof their asset against value depreciation. After an initial analysis of the proposed or existing development, we deliver comprehensive advice on health and wellbeing issues - as well as providing supporting guidance during the occupier’s fit-out.

If you’re already Well Building accredited, we can to maintain the accreditation through advice on how to promote and engage building occupants on your existing provisions.
