Earth Day 2023: Creating a Greener BPF

Posted by British Property Federation on 18th April 2023 -

We all know that buildings and the built environment have a critical role to play when it comes to tackling climate change. With buildings responsible for around 25% of all greenhouse gas emissions in the UK, and with a carbon footprint second only to that of the transport sector, the property sector has a major contribution to make if we are to deliver a net zero economy by 2050.

The BPF is committed to being net zero carbon by 2050 at the very latest.

And to help us achieve this, we are working with Planet Mark, a sustainability consultancy and UN race to zero partner, to baseline our emissions and to develop a credible net zero plan. Planet Mark will also certify our work and provide independent assurance of our progress towards net zero.
