Environmental Responsibility

As investors in the built environment and custodians of place, we have a responsibility to ensure that our projects stand the test of time and meet the highest environmental standards possible.

Our Environmental Commitments

The developments we deliver are all accredited by BREEAM, WELL, AirScore, WiredScore and Nabers. This gives us clear targets and the methodology to monitor and measure our progress.

For all our developments we follow the Greater London Authority (GLA) guidance on circular economy and whole life-cycle carbon assessments. We align ourselves with industry best practice and are members of the UK Green Building Council and follow guidance from organisations such as the London Energy Transformation Initiative.

We recognised the importance of transparent reporting and align ourselves to GRESB and UNPRI frameworks. Results can be found in our Sustainability Report below.

“We make our environmental commitments meaningful. We are proud to have worked with our contractor to use the UK’s first fully electric crawler cranes at Olympia, so far saving an estimated 12 tonnes of carbon compared to traditional diesel cranes.”

Environmental Target Areas

Our environmental targets are carefully calculated to be ambitious but achievable. This balance is important to ensure that we deliver real, meaningful change and positive environmental impact.


We have identified five key areas of environmental focus in our ESG policy and have set targets for each:

  1. Health & Wellbeing – We create spaces that support physical and mental health, encourage connection, and build inclusive communities. All projects target WELL certification.
  2. Water Management – Contractors must follow water plans to ensure responsible use and disposal. We also promote sustainable water use in building operations
  3. Sustainable Procurement & Longevity – We choose durable, low-carbon materials and design for long life to minimise future environmental impact.
  4. Climate Action – We cut carbon through sustainable materials, efficient energy use, and systems aligned with UKGBC and London Energy Transformation Initiative.
  5. Biodiversity – Our developments include green infrastructure to enhance biodiversity and follow the latest best practices.
