Energy and Sustainability

We support investors, occupiers and developers in navigating property legislation, reduce operating costs, improve energy efficiency and reliability, manage brand and reputation, mitigate risk, and create more productive and healthy workplace environments. Taking a holistic approach to business sustainability, our team develops strategies that not only significantly reduce carbon footprints, but also create long-term benefits and value for your business. As the a provider of commercial real estate services, we’re different from other energy and sustainability advisors. Supported by our knowledge and experience of building and facilities management, we have a unique real estate focus that enables us to quickly understand your exact requirements and provide creative yet practical sustainable property solutions. 

 

We have developed a program to optimise the supply, demand and usage of utilities and resources, specially for occupiers; We call it: “Buy Smart, Use Smart and Be Responsible.” That means we support businesses from the development of a utilities procurement strategy, through to reducing costs and emissions across buildings and portfolios, and finally ensuring compliance with environmental legislation while improving the value of their assets. With this three-pronged energy and sustainability approach, we have been able to support over 100 clients in EMEA, manage €1bn in utilities spend, save €23m and reduce 70m kg CO2e – the equivalent to 1.8m planted trees.   

 

Our team draw on CBRE’s global real estate expertise to provide investors with a comprehensive service, from developing sustainability strategy to improving building performance, enhancing reputation through reporting and certifications to reducing risk around legislation and obsolescence. Because property is our core business, CBRE’s energy and sustainability experts are uniquely positioned to provide a long term real estate focus. Our teams not only help investors to attract and retain occupiers, but also ensure regulatory compliance, mitigate risk and create utility savings with access to the latest research and analysis.
