Real estate companies large and small are mapping out sustainability strategies as the climate crisis escalates. For many the challenge is not just what tomorrow's business must look like, but how today's business can prove resilience in the face of growing threats. In this podcast EG's guests discuss climate resilience in the real estate industry; the social impact of sustainability strategies; how real estate companies, the businesses within their supply chains and their customers are collaborating; and the opportunities around data and analytics that can mitigate risks. Joining deputy editor Tim Burke are Janine Cole, director of sustainability and community at GPE; TwinView's Rob Charlton; and Samantha Carlsson, senior sustainability manager at Derwent London.

In this episode of the EG Property Podcast, EG editor Samantha McClary is exploring how the pathway to success never follows a straight line. That could never be more true that in real estate's journey along the net zero carbon pathway. In this 40 minute listen, she's in discussion with John Davies, head of sustainability at Derwent London, Jonathan Hale, sustainability director at BNP Paribas Real Estate, Andrew Leiper, net zero carbon leader and principal engineer at Max Fordham and Andries van der Walt, real estate director at Verco to find out what real estate will need to do to be able to stay on the path to net zero, despite some ever moving goalposts.

In this episode of the EG Property Podcast EG editor Samantha McClary is joined by John Davies, head of sustainability at Derwent London, Louise Ellison, head of sustainability at Hammerson and chair of the Better Buildings Partnership, and Savannah de Savary, founder and chief executive of Built ID to talk about renewable energy in real estate. They discuss the journey that real estate is on as it tries to shift towards more renewable energy – both on and offsite - the power that a commitment to clean energy has among the local community and the vital need for occupiers and owners to be united in their approach and commitment to renewables. The conversation also turns to government’s new proposals to help better monitor the operational use of energy in buildings as the greatest leap forward the sector – and everyone - can take in the journey towards a net zero carbon future is to just use less of everything. As with all discussion around sustainability, the conversation goes much deeper than just renewables. And a mild word of warning.

COVID-19 has forced London workers to abandon their office desks and adjust at home. After nearly six months of doing so, a gradual return to work is on the horizon for many. However, employees may find a different work space from the one they left. How has the pandemic changed employers' thinking about their working environments? What do occupiers now want from their HQs and from their landlords? In this podcast, Paul Williams of Derwent London, Phil Hobley of Knight Frank, and Jane Edwarde discuss whether, in a post-pandemic London, the office market landscape will change forever and, if so, in what ways.

Establishing a carbon accounting method, utilising its Scottish estate to enable full circle carbon offsetting and focusing on energy usage throughout its supply chain all form key elements of Derwent London’s pathway to becoming a net zero carbon business by 2030.   Derwent was one of more than 20 businesses that in September last year signed up to the Better Buildings Partnership’s Climate Commitment, committing it to not only be carbon net zero by 2050 - or 2030 in Derwent's case - but to publish exactly how it was going to get there in a public document before the end of 2020.   In this podcast Derwent's chief executive Paul Williams and head of sustainability John Davies talk to EG editor Samantha McClary about what sustainability means to the UK REIT and what measures they have put in place to ensure that Derwent's pathway to net zero can be travelled.   Read the story in full and access the pathway by visiting EG's Sustainability Hub at www.egi.co.uk/sustainability    DISCLAIMER: This interview was recorded over Teams so while the quality of the content can be guaranteed, the quality of the sound may not always be to the standard you have come to expect from an EG audio production

On this week's Tech Talk Radio Emily Wright is joined by former Rockspring chief executive Robert Gilchrist and Dashflow creator Mike Molloy as the pair discuss the former's investment in the app.  Gilchrist is one of a tranche of angel investors backing the tech company as it targets a £1.5m second fundraise. The funding round follows the app’s initial seed funding offer in 2017, which was 50% oversubscribed and raised £400,000 ahead of Dashflow’s launch in 2018. Since then the app has attracted users including M&G Real Estate, BNP Paribas Real Estate, Orion Capital Managers, Hermes, Derwent London, Delancey, SevenCapital and Amazon Property. Gilchrist reveals why he has backed Dashflow and discusses the future of tech investment from a real estate perspective.  Also on this episode, tech reporter Lucy Alderson tells us how she fared when she gave up the internet for a day along with 11 other industry professionals for the Wiredscore Unplugged Challenge.

Nigel George, Director, Derwent London

Born in London in 1944 and educated at St Paul’s School. John started his career at Hillier Parker (now CBRE) in the early 1960s before moving on to become a partner at Barnet Baker (estate agents). In 1973 he acquired Pilcher Hershman & Partners. A decade later John acquired control of the Derwent Valley Light Railway Company (capitalised at £1.5m), restructuring it as Derwent Valley Holdings plc which - following the merger with London Merchant Securities plc in 2007 - became Derwent London plc.

John burns, chief executive of Derwent London is a popular figure among the property industry’s emerging leaders, but it is the “Ritblats and the Ronsons” and Lord Samuel, the founder of Land Securities whose work he admires the most. “They were the real builders and just did things with a different style,” Burns said, before also heaping praise on contemporary rival Argent for “creating a destination (King’s Cross) from a place that people were afraid to go”. Speaking on EG’s Tomorrow’s Leaders podcast, Burns made the strong assertion that Derwent would not be looking to venture too far out of London anytime soon. “People have often said to us, why wouldn’t Derwent venture out of town, but the truth is we don’t know other markets well enough. “To do New York for example, well that’s going into the jungle, isn’t it? That will be a tough crowd of real estate experts. I think some of these places are good for holidays but not to put money down.” Speaking about the workplace culture at Derwent’s Saville Row headquarters, and how the company nurtures new recruits, Burns says he is committed to making himself available to all staff, and encourages younger colleagues to take part in business meetings. “it’s interesting. A lot of companies don’t like presentations and meetings with investors, but we’re in the reverse. It’s a bit like giving out sweeties when deciding who going to go on this tour and that.” When asked about any career regrets, he said: “I’d have worked a little harder. I didn’t wake up til I was in my late 30s. I may have been coasting for a time.”
