Climate Action

Better energy efficiency and building better

The real estate sector has a significant role to play in addressing the climate crisis. Globally, real estate accounts for nearly 40% of CO₂ emissions. As an integrated developer, contractor and facilities manager, we have a big part to play in not only creating more efficient buildings for the future, but also retrofitting our existing buildings to drive energy efficiency and reduce emissions across our Estate.

Climate strategy at Canary Wharf

In 2020, we published our SBTi approved Science Based Targets, closely followed by our Net Zero Carbon Pathway. These targets cover emissions directly produced by our activities (Scope 1); those from purchased electricity, heat or steam (Scope 2); and other indirect emissions like those from purchased goods, as well as leased assets (Scope 3).

Our full climate action strategy within our Sustainability Report outlines our long-term vision to transition to net zero carbon and how we are working closely with our supply chain to support their decarbonisation journey.

Underpinning our approach to sustainability is a robust governance structure

Our approach guides both the way we operate and how we share and report our progress.

This is supported by our ISO 14001 certified Environmental Management System (EMS), our ISO 50001 certified Energy Management System (EnMS), and our commitment to external reporting, including GRESB, where we received a 5-star rating in 2023.
