Implement a decarbonisation roadmap that outlines a reduction first approach, improving energy efficiency and securing renewable energy. Maximise the reduction of embodied carbon for any new developments or major renovations, compensating for all residual upfront embodied carbon emissions.
Support Group companies in implementing energy conservation measures; procuring renewable energy and offsets; and procuring low-carbon materials for new assets or major refurbishments under direct operational and financial control.
Undertake independent third-party verification of energy performance and associated carbon emissions for assets and portfolio under direct financial and operational control. For the whole life cycle carbon, verify embodied carbon reduction to market baseline requirements upon building a new asset for own use or undertaking any major refurbishment to existing assets under direct control.
