In terms of carbon footprint, commercial buildings have never been under greater scrutiny. As businesses feel pressure to reduce their environmental impact, ‘greening' their real estate is often the first of many levers that they reach for, while many real-estate investors adjust their portfolios in response to market forces.Join FT Studio's Nellie de Goguel, a writer and broadcaster specialising in sustainability issues, and listen as we go onsite to one of London's office developments built to the highest sustainability standards, and hear from industry leaders, BCLP's Chris de Pury - Real Estate Partner, Katerina Papavasileiou, Director of ESG and Responsibility at Federated Hermes, and Ruth Marsh, Sustainability Director at Sheppard Robson along with their Chair of the practice's Design Review Group, Lee Bennett.
Game-changers in the field of Inclusion & Diversity, BCLP Global Inclusion & Diversity Client Relationship Partner Daisy Reeves and Ken Janssens, co-founder of Windō and a former Chief Data Officer at J.P. Morgan, discuss whether DEI truly is at a critical juncture amidst economic pressures and changing political headwinds. Hosted by award-winning journalist Nellie de Goguel, Daisy & Ken take a look at how DEI is transforming the way that we work, explain what people look for when choosing a job (here's a hint, values matter), and talk about what companies need to do to get it right.
