RETAIL


Sustainable retail buildings (high street, shopping centres, supermarkets and retail parks) present a major opportunity to provide improved quality and a better experience for employees, shoppers and communities, while also reducing operating costs and addressing some of the fundamental environmental impacts of the sector.

Many retailers and developers must respond to an extensive range of compulsory or voluntary standards and reporting obligations, such as mandatory greenhouse gas emissions reporting or voluntary initiatives such as the Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark (GRESB) initiative. They may also wish to undertake green building certifications such as BREEAM and LEED.

We have found our partnership with those at EnviroSustain very productive – the breadth of their ESG expertise in commercial property complements our technical knowledge of and expertise in building services. We have been impressed with their professional approach, their European reach as well as their personal ethics and commitment to sustainability.

Managing physical climate risks

by Anna Höfer • 25 Mar, 2024
While many companies are already taking comprehensive measures to minimise the effects of climate change as far as possible, it is also true that climate change is inevitable in the near and distant future. This has already become noticeable in large parts of Germany with an increase in extreme weather events such as the flood disaster in the Ahr valley in 2021, numerous hot summers in recent years, or the constant rain and flooding at the beginning of this year. Companies should therefore address the risks that could arise from climate change and the associated increase in extreme weather events, for example at their different sites, as early as possible.
