In September last year, more than twenty commercial property
owners signed up to the Better Buildings Partnership Climate Change
Commitment. Each of the signatories committed to publish its
own pathway by the end of this year of how it would become net zero
carbon by 2050.
A focus on sustainability is something we are seeing
increasingly from more of our clients, not just those who have
signed up to the commitment, which shows the importance developers
in particular are placing on it. Indeed, many developers
require all tenants to sign up to the same commitments in their
leases. On the flip side, many potential tenants will not
agree to take space in a building which cannot prove its
sustainability credentials.
