Fiera Real Estate UK ESG Brochure

Climate change represents one of the greatest challenges of our time. In 2018, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) warned us that to meet the ambitions laid out in the Paris Agreement, we would all need to engage to limit the earth’s warming to 1.5° in order to prevent the most catastrophic events. In response, the UK Government declared a climate emergency and became the first major economy to pass the net zero emission law, requiring the reduction of all greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050. In November 2021, the UK will host COP26, where parties will come together to accelerate the journey towards a zero carbon economy by ensuring further emissions commitments by 2030. To achieve this, urgent action is required from the real estate industry. At Fiera Real Estate we acknowledge the role that we have to play in reducing our carbon impact and to drive the growing momentum to get businesses to embed climate risk into financial, investment and operations decision making. At Fiera Real Estate, we champion the integration of ESG factors throughout the business and across all areas of our investment process. We strive to deliver our investor base and our occupiers resilient portfolios that positively and responsibly impact the wellbeing of our planet, people and communities.
