Grosvenor recognizes tenants with Sustainability Award
Grosvenor awarded the Odd Chair Company second place for its commitment to sustainability in its buildings, products and services. This includes enhancing building insulation through greening and using recycled materials in manufacturing.
The runner-up award went to My Wardrobe HQ which rents and resells high-end fashion items to reduce waste by 50% within five years. Atis, a health food restaurant in Eccleston Yards that champions seasonal and plant-based produce, was awarded the second place prize.
Amelia Bright, London Estate at Grosvenor’s executive director, said: “Delivering our environmental commitments depends heavily on partnerships with tenants. We created a way for tenants to recognize the great strides they have made in making Mayfair and Belgravia London sustainable.
“We were overwhelmed at the quality of the entries. However, Stephen Webster’s vision and track record won over us and we are thrilled to announce that they have been awarded the Grosvenor Sustainability Awards.”
Grosvenor’s first annual update of its Net Zero Carbon Pathway will be published this year. The award ceremony coincides with Grosvenor’s publication of the awards. It will become net-zero in 2030. According to the report, Grosvenor’s buildings, developments, and supply chain emissions decreased by 20% in 2020 compared to 2019. Although lockdowns undoubtedly had an impact on building use and emissions it was clear that the company is still on track to reach its 2030 target. The company also stated that collaborations with tenants are “critical to success”.
