Case study: London office move
In 2024, the Group decided to move from its current London offices to new, more modern premises to provide a positive working space for our people, better reflect changes in our working patterns and help to support our carbon reduction targets by moving to a more energy-efficient office.
Environmental impact was an important criterion in the search for a new office, alongside others such as location, cost, space requirements, accessibility, facilities and infrastructure. This is reflected in the selection of premises at Gresham Street which have a BREEAM rating of excellent and a Wiredscore rating of platinum.
The refurbishment of the office floor was carried out to a silver SKA rating representing comprehensive integration of sustainability features. There is an emphasis on the employee experience of the space, for example by considering natural light and air quality and supplying end-of-journey facilities to promote green and active commutes. We have sought to minimise the environmental impact of the office by using energy-efficient lighting and heating, sourcing sustainable materials and implementing water saving systems.
