Edge Debate 151 - Leadership for Sustainability in the Built Environment, 13th July 14.00-18.30 Woburn House WC1H 9HQ

Join key stakeholders at an invite-only event at Woburn House in central London to discuss meeting sustainability goals, share ideas and highlight innovative practice. Following the event, attendees are invited to join networking drinks and canapes.

This in-person event aims to bring together heads and directors of sustainability from the leading organisations in the built and natural environment sector; including property owners and developers, designers and consultants, contractors and managers; to discuss developments in meeting sustainability goals in practice, share ideas and highlight innovative practice. 

We hope that the event will provide an important opportunity to network with others in this fast-moving sector with presentations addressing not only the challenges around achieving net zero carbon and delivering on biodiversity improvements but also to hear from speakers on how they have made it work effectively within their organisations.

Successful leadership in this field is becoming critical not only for achieving global obligations under the Paris and Kunming-Montreal agreements and performing against ESG requirements but also for the success of the construction, built environment and property sectors as we all look forward to a future dominated by new approaches to address climate and biodiversity concerns.

  • Amanda Clack, Partner & Regional CEO - EMEA, HKA

  • Richard Ellis, Director of Sustainability. Peabody

  • Guy Grainger, Global Head of Sustainability Services & ESG, JLL

  • Andy Nolan, Director of Development and Sustainability, University of Nottingham

  • Hero Bennettt, Head of Sustainability, Max Fordham

  • Joe Jack Williams, Partner FCBS

  • Penny Gowler, Director and Head of Sustainability, Elliott Wood
