Sustainability impact on UK real estate

Consumers, companies, and governments have become increasingly active in promoting sustainability across the globe. UK regulators are among the most progressive with ambitious steps and targets for year 2030. As a result, electricity production is shifting to renewables, which increases demand for energy banks and smart grids, in order to balance load volatility. Simultaneously UK traffic is becoming increasingly electrified, at a rapid pace.
 

What does this paradigm shift mean for UK real estate and what can institutional real estate owners do to future proof their assets?

This webinar covered key oncoming UK regulations and target schedules. We also discussed how the new energy paradigm, particularly in carbon-neutral electricity production and traffic, will likely impact the UK real estate market. Watch the recording and learn alongside industry experts as they share their unique insights, and stay ahead of the curve by discussing steps to future-proofing your property portfolios.
