Carbon Neutral since 2022!

We have achieved carbon neutrality for our core Scope 1 (direct) and Scope 2 (indirect energy-related) greenhouse gas emissions through certified offsetting, calculated in accordance with the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard. We are continuing to measure and reduce our wider Scope 3 value chain emissions, which are not currently included within this carbon neutral claim.

Incorporating sustainability into your property

We know from our own research that being more sustainable and having an energy-efficient home is important to our clients. This is why we’ve made it our mission to provide regular advice on this topic.

Your questions, answered.

We’re committed to making sustainability part of how we operate. From using renewable electricity and reducing waste to introducing recyclable property boards and more energy-efficient offices, we’re continually looking for ways to reduce our environmental footprint. Our Sustainability Hub shares our progress, achievements and ongoing initiatives.

We’ve been carbon neutral for our Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions since 2022, achieving our original target eight years ahead of schedule. This covers direct emissions from our operations and indirect emissions from the energy we purchase, with carbon neutrality achieved through certified offsetting. We’re also working to measure and reduce our wider Scope 3 emissions, which aren’t currently included in this commitment.

We work with environmental partners to support conservation and restoration projects across the UK. Between 2021 and 2024, our partnership with GreenTheUK helped plant over 28,000 trees. We’ve also supported the restoration of 70,000 square metres of wildflower-rich meadows, alongside projects protecting native oysters and supporting the recovery of coastal kelp forests.

Yes. Our Sustainability Hub provides practical advice and useful information to help homeowners, buyers, landlords and tenants make more sustainable choices. From improving energy efficiency and reducing household emissions to understanding the benefits of greener homes, we can help you explore ways to make your property more environmentally friendly.
