The emerging business models that can support the decarbonisation of our built environment

The emerging business models that can support the decarbonisation of our built environment

The built environment is responsible for more than a third of carbon emissions globally – and 80% of the buildings we see today will still be here in 2050. So if we are to have any hope of getting to Net Zero, we need to make our existing building stock more efficient. Thankfully – driven by growing tenant demand and underpinned by emerging technologies – a new wave of solutions is beginning to appear. For sustainability-focused investors, scaling these solutions presents a clear opportunity.

This is the latest issue in Bridges’ ‘Investing in the Future’ series, which focuses on the role business and investment can play in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.
