Sustainability:
Leading the way to a sustainable built environment
Carbon emissions in the 21st Century
40% of carbon emissions come from the built environment, up to 20% from commercial buildings alone. Increasingly, real estate investors, owners and occupiers around the world are facing shareholder, regulatory, investor and other stakeholders pressure to do something positive about this by embedding sustainability into their overall business strategy.
