Occupier Engagement
One of the greatest challenges in achieving net zero carbon buildings lies in the relationship between owners and occupiers.
While they often have sustainability aspirations common, a series of institutional, technical & legal barriers have made progress challenging. Our Occupier Engagement workstream aims to tackle the barriers between owners and occupiers, through our Owner & Occupier Forum and our work on green leasing.
Occupier Engagement Workstream
Owner & Occupier Forum
Our Owner & Occupier Forum is chaired by Jane Wakiwaka from Real Estate Management (UK) Limited and is made up of over 50 organisations representing Owners, Occupiers and Partners. As a rapidly growing area of work within the BBP programme, it sets out to review and address key challenges that Owners and Occupiers alike face when addressing climate change and broader sustainability issues in relation to the buildings they own or occupy, through knowledge sharing and collaborative working. We are currently working on the development of an industry insight paper which resets the foundation for an expansive and constructive conversation on owner occupier synergies across ESG, focused on net zero.
