Going green: Derwent chiefs unveil their journey to net zero

Establishing a carbon accounting method, utilising its Scottish estate to enable full circle carbon offsetting and focusing on energy usage throughout its supply chain all form key elements of Derwent London’s pathway to becoming a net zero carbon business by 2030.

 

Derwent was one of more than 20 businesses that in September last year signed up to the Better Buildings Partnership’s Climate Commitment, committing it to not only be carbon net zero by 2050 - or 2030 in Derwent's case - but to publish exactly how it was going to get there in a public document before the end of 2020.

 

In this podcast Derwent's chief executive Paul Williams and head of sustainability John Davies talk to EG editor Samantha McClary about what sustainability means to the UK REIT and what measures they have put in place to ensure that Derwent's pathway to net zero can be travelled.
