There are many reasons why landlords and investors should get the #sustainability credentials of their assets assessed. In our latest blog post, Sophie Chick, explains the different types of green building certification methods that are worth exploring: savi.li/6010Tv9Eq

While we can expect to see an increase in Environmental, Social and Governance (#ESG) specific investment vehicles, combining responsible investment with ongoing responsible management will be key in order to develop future-proof buildings Read more: sav.li/jjt

Phenomenal stats on renewable usage vs fossil fuels in electricity generation.

UK Govt response to carbon pricing consultation published. Commits to a UK ETS with Phase I running from 2021- 2030, which could be linked or standalone, and will have a cap net zero aligned by Jan 2024 at the very latest. First net zero aligned ETS! gov.uk/government/con…

On Thursday at 8pm, the UK came out to show its appreciation for all of the hard work that @NHSuk workers are putting in. As we continue to share positive stories from across the Savills network, here is a flavour of the support shown, from our offices, to properties we manage.

Apparently the whole of North Leeds is out running. All keeping a good distance from other runners and pedestrians. May as well use the rare bit of warmness to blow some work from home cobwebs away!

For anyone that believes #HS2 is solely about the minutes, it's not. These plans look excellent for the currently underutilised around Sheffield station.

Dare I say, the finest @Savills office in the country! A look into the local office market as it's gone from strength to strength #Leeds
