GPE Accelerates Progress to Net Zero Through Industry-Leading Internal Carbon Price
12 January 2022
GPE’s internal carbon price of £95 per tonne, which originally launched in 2020, is transforming behaviour and driving innovation in the race to net zero. Covering both embodied carbon and operational emissions, this internal carbon price goes further than others in the UK real estate sector. All contributions feed into a Decarbonisation Fund, created to support the deep retrofitting of the existing portfolio, further accelerating the transition to net zero and building in climate resilience for the future of London.

The International Business of Federated Hermes Successfully Decouples Carbon Emissions and Portfolio Growth
15 October 2020
The international business of Federated Hermes has significantly exceeded its industry-leading 2020 target to reduce absolute landlord-controlled carbon emissions by 40% against its 2006 baseline. The team has achieved these results primarily through collaborating with property managers, occupiers and sustainability consultant Carbon Intelligence over several years, along with the rollout of smart optimisation. This success across a portfolio of 175 directly managed properties, up from 105 in 2006, demonstrates how carbon emissions can be decoupled from portfolio growth. Importantly, efficiency savings have gone hand-in-hand with wellbeing improvements.
