Sustainability

The challenge:
Reimagine office spaces for a better tomorrow.

Today’s organisations are under increasing pressure to prioritise sustainability in their Real Estate agenda. The global crisis has revealed a lack of resilience in systems that were already failing to meet the needs of millions pushing firms to be more responsible and to view risks differently. As businesses go through this crisis, the need to attract and retain the best talents is now crucial in an already high competitive environment. Organisations need to meet their people at their expectations and rethink the purpose of their workplace to provide spaces and experiences that matter. It is vital that we shape a green recovery, based on collective action and a commitment to protecting each other and the future of our planet.

Key fact : Real Estate accounts for 40% of global greenhouse gas emissions.

Our approach:

Help our clients achieve their sustainability ambition by leveraging a deep expertise and understanding of green Real Estate.

Our ambition is to design and build a better tomorrow, and as the leader in the industry, we believe in the opportunities that can bring a sustainable and responsible approach of the workplace for an organisation in the long term.

We have identified three priorities to drive focussed effort :

01.

Ensuring climate resilience
& net zero carbon transition

02.

Enabling healthy people
and environments

03.

Creating inclusive
and resilient society.
