ESG Training
The upskilling of real estate professionals to be able to manage ESG issues on their businesses will be a critical enabler of transition to a low carbon commercial building stock.
In June 2021 the BBP began delivery of a major new training course focused on integrating ESG into the property investment management process. The course was developed and funded by Hammerson, La Salle Investment Management, Legal & General Investment Management, Nuveen, Derwent London, GPE, Logicor, Picton, Royal London Asset Management, Savills Investment Management, Brookfield Properties and Workspace, who continue to help oversee its ongoing development.
In response to further demand, in June 2022 we expanded the course to provide a training pathway suited to real estate advisors, with funding and support from members of the Property Advisors' Forum, including allsop, Avison Young, BNP Paribas, Carter Jonas, CBRE, Colliers, Cushman & Wakefield, Deloitte, Gerald Eve, GL Hearn, JLL, Knight Frank, LSH and Savills.
