How companies can cut their carbon emissions across leased spaces

Every week, more companies are making commitments to reduce their carbon footprint. But public statements are not enough. As calls for action from customers, shareholders and employees grow, corporations must take measurable and documented steps toward decarbonization targets to comply with tightening regulations, future-proof their business and play their part in creating a sustainable future.

For many corporate tenants, real estate is a small part of their overall carbon emissions — yet it is becoming an important reflection of their sustainability credentials. Furthermore, real estate is easier to decarbonize than supply chains.

The tools, technology and expertise needed already exist. Given that buildings account for around 40% of global greenhouse gas emissions, all decarbonization efforts have a direct impact on limiting global warming.

Along with the environmental benefits, developing and implementing the right decarbonization strategy can deliver significant savings across ongoing operating costs.

Whether you own or lease your workspace, cutting emissions today is the smart choice to benefit your company, your workforce and the environment.
