A day in the life of a 可持续性 Analyst at British Land

We recognise that our 2030 可持续性 Strategy is only attainable through an aligned approach across British Land. 因此, 我们邀请了Alex Walker Pow, 我们的可持续发展分析师, to share her insights and experiences as part of her role. Her contributions play a crucial role in decarbonising British Land’s portfolio, 特别关注发展.

你的角色涉及到什么?

The 环境al 可持续性 team leads the delivery of sustainability performance across our developments in line with our 可持续性 Strategy and Net Zero Pathway. 我们与同事合作, 咨询顾问, and our supply chains to deliver ‘Best in Class’ developments through material reuse, design efficiency and low-carbon materials specification.

作为可持续发展分析师, I am responsible for analysing and evaluating development sustainability metrics which is critical in quantifying our environmental impacts. With sustainability in the built environment ever-evolving, part of my role requires me to stay informed with government/local policies, and industry guidance to ensure sustainability principles are embedded in our decision-making process.

你典型的日常活动是什么?

My role is diverse and I am often found either with my head in a spreadsheet analysing development data or visiting our construction sites in steel-capped boots to see how the numbers translate onsite.

I am then heavily involved with the reporting of development data and our ongoing sustainability performance throughout the year. This information feeds directly into British Land’s Annual Report, 可持续性 Progress Report and external ESG benchmarks such as ‘GRESB’, demonstrating the strong progress we’re making on our 2030 可持续性 Strategy.

超出我的报道职责, I attend regular sustainability meetings to monitor each development’s progress against its targets. 促进可持续发展审核, I am uniquely positioned to identify best practices and innovations that can be shared across the wider team and enhance future developments. 

到目前为止,你在工作中取得的重要成就?

I have been working on the roll-out of the small 可持续性 Brief which applies to projects between £300,000英镑和500万英镑. This workstream helps identify opportunities at smaller sites, 经常受到时间和资源的限制, to progress towards net zero carbon and how to integrate a place-based approach. 在这里, 我们讨论了诸如净零排放等新兴话题, 社会价值, 循环经济, and set appropriate targets for the scale of the development which both challenge and support our supply chain contractors on their sustainability journey.

What are the environmental team’s objectives for 2024?

One objective involved reviewing and updating the 可持续性 Brief to ensure it continues to challenge our project teams to deliver space with excellent sustainability credentials. A specific focus for me has been climate resilience, and how we can ensure our buildings can prepare for, 回复, and recover from the impacts of hazardous climatic events.

也, I am involved with the ‘Green Skills Lab’ working group, where in collaboration with the Social Impact team we are exploring what a just transition to net zero might mean for our business and the roles we need to deliver change.

你最喜欢你的工作的哪一点?

In my role, I witness firsthand the emerging sustainable trends within the built environment. We are constantly presented with new and exciting solutions to deliver against our ambitious targets from decarbonising concrete, 利用废物流创造新材料, harnessing bio-based materials for construction, 还有更多. Our regenerative approach to sustainability at British Land seeks to create spaces that sustain and actively contribute to the current and future health of our planet and communities, so it is a pleasure to have an integral role in achieving this.
