Delivering your carbon roadmap through decisive action
Your carbon vision is set, and you’ve identified opportunities for reduction – so where next? Our final insight here shares three steps to put your carbon roadmap into practice, also highlighting the risks and opportunities you're likely to face along the way, based on your net zero targets.
Understanding your current carbon performance with data and analysis
Data is often central to the confusion around net zero, and how this translates into practical action that actually reduces emissions for an asset or portfolio. But with the right tools, it's possible to identify immediate carbon reduction opportunities, as shown here with our materiality assessment and greenhouse gas inventory.
Setting a carbon reduction vision for your asset or portfolio
This might surprise you, but the leading indicator of a successful carbon reduction roadmap isn't related to technology or money. It's whether the organisation is committed to a clear, purposeful net zero vision. We ask key questions to help you establish this vision here, alongside guiding principles, and a framework for gaining internal alignment and commitment.
Watch: It's time to think differently about commercial tenants

Watch: How to drive asset value on your Net Zero journey
Achieving Net Zero is all about action, but too frequently we see Real Estate Asset Owners overlooking the key drivers of impact, and more importantly - value. Simplifying the approach provides a different perspective, and one that demonstrates greater value to potential investors, even if you feel an asset is stranded.
Watch: Why Net Zero Carbon is largely misunderstood
Kevin McCullough (Board Chair) and Craig Needham (Director) discuss why Net Zero Carbon is largely misunderstood at board level, and how to bridge this gap to create value and tangible results.
A word from our Chair – “Where there’s muck...”
From the Industrial Revolution, to modern day awareness of our planet and its ecosystems, there is one word common throughout. Carbon. Nowadays, outlawed as a dirty word, it’s time to think less about the cost we face in getting ourselves off carbon, and more about the value we can unlock as we do so.
Decoding Stranded Assets - A choice for sustainable Real Estate investment
In a rapidly evolving landscape, Investment Managers and Asset Owners find themselves at a crossroads – when is an asset no longer an asset? The decision-making process involves critical choices: invest in decarbonisation, run the risk of refinance challenges, or strategically divest to reduce overall carbon emissions.
