JLL expands Sustainability services with dedicated energy practice

CHICAGO, Jan. 16, 2025 – JLL announced today that it is boosting its existing Sustainability services by forming the Energy Advisory and Sustainability practice. Led by clean energy expert Josephine Tucker, the team works across JLL’s business lines and industries to serve real estate investors and commercial and public sector clients.

With core competencies across engineering; finance and procurement; energy modelling; and project and program management, the new practice helps clients meet ambitious sustainability goals while navigating uncertain energy markets, evolving regulation and increasing consumer expectations. A comprehensive team of Energy Advisory and Sustainability’s technical specialists provide expertise on energy sourcing; efficiency; and end-use optimization, including technology integration such as EV-charging, on-site/off-site renewables, battery storage and microgrid solutions.

“In response to accelerating demand, we have established a dedicated practice for energy advisory services to expand our sustainability offerings,” said Sanjay Rishi, CEO, Work Dynamics, Americas. “Josephine is a recognized authority in the clean energy field, and I’m excited that more of our clients can now benefit from her leadership and the expertise of her team.”

As Americas Head of Energy Advisory and Sustainability, Tucker reports to Rishi. She joined JLL in 2022 to lead JLL’s Clean Energy and Infrastructure Advisory services to address aging infrastructure and provide renewable transaction services to clients. Prior to joining JLL, she amassed more than 15 years of experience in energy, real estate and transportation, with a focus on strategy, finance and economic analyses.

“Market demand for clean energy and infrastructure is at an all-time high,” Tucker said. “More and more companies are seeking to reduce their carbon footprint while, at the same time, we see this rapid acceleration of power demand from data centers, reshoring of manufacturing and the electrification of everything from buildings to cars to infrastructure. This fundamentally changes how businesses own, operate and lease spaces. As a leading real estate management and consulting company, JLL can play a huge role in servicing energy demands and reducing emissions. I’m thrilled to lead that effort.”
