The built environment accounts for around 40% of the UK’s total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, so as specialists in this area we have a responsibility at Gerald Eve to step up and lead the response to the climate change emergency – both across our own operations and through the advice we provide to our clients.

We declared a climate emergency in 2020 and set a goal of moving beyond net zero to be carbon negative by 2030.
We committed to becoming carbon neutral from financial year (FY) 2022-23, and we expect to become carbon negative from FY 2027/28 – three years ahead of our target.
Our Climate Change Action Plan sets out how we will achieve our commitment and each year we present the progress we have made in our Annual Impact Report.
Sustainability affects decision making at each stage of the property lifecycle and we are embedding sustainability across all our service lines to ensure that our advice creates resilient assets. Building the evidence base for valuation, investment and occupational decisions through market intelligence. We help:
understand sustainability risks and opportunities, through asset and portfolio screening, and to improve the performance of existing buildings through our EPC Uprating service.
to select and fit out space aligned to sustainability objectives and green leases.
consider whether to retain or develop buildings, how to add value through sustainable retrofit, plan for future living and working patterns, achieve the highest sustainability standards and deliver social and ecological value.
We provided project management services in connection with refurbishment of the former ‘Crystal Building’ to create a new City Hall for the relocation of the GLA.
The building benefits from the original sustainable design but the refurbishment work has further minimised energy and water use.
The upgrades introduced as part of the refurbishment and transformation to create the new City Hall will reduce the buildings carbon emissions by approximately 20%.
The original building was awarded BREEAM Outstanding and LEED Platinum and the City Hall refurbishment works have been awarded BREEAM Outstanding for Refurbishment.

We are working with SEGRO to improve the energy performance of its industrial portfolio and deliver on targets along the net zero pathway.
Inspections and EPC modelling for 30 of SEGRO’s industrial properties totalling 2,676,000 sq ft.

We secured planning permission for the redevelopment of a 1970s office in the heart of the City.
Demolition was minimised as far as possible, with 78% of the existing building retained, predominantly due to retention of the existing structure.
The scheme will reduce operational energy consumption in line with LETI guidelines and is targeting BREEAM Outstanding.
The development will be all electric and is targeting 4 star NABERS accreditation in-use.
