Work will continue in 2020 to align existing and new energy efficiency and renewable initiatives to this target and ensure our pathway informs capital investment decisions.

In line with our sustainable practices policy, we wanted to know where energy was being consumed and how we could manage that use more efficiently. Installing an energy management system has provided a visibility of where energy is actually being consumed within the business that was not available previously. This allows us to optimise our machinery to operate more efficiently. The sub metering platform is a cost-effective solution that has helped my company reduce costs and improve the overall productivity of the business.

As a large consumer of energy, with an ambitious carbon emissions reduction goal of net zero by 2040, across our $11 billion commercial real estate portfolio, Investa’s ongoing approach to the management of electricity is critical to our business. We have made progress by taking advantage of market timing, negotiating flexible electricity contracts and exploring innovative solutions such as power purchase agreements, enabling the reduction of electricity costs for our tenants, whilst simultaneously moving us towards our emissions reduction target.

Energy efficiency is also a key priority for Investa’s large property and facilities management teams, who through active management, have been able to reduce electricity usage intensity by 48% since 2004, delivering significant savings to Investa’s tenants and owners, whilst also reducing the environmental footprint of our portfolio.
