RLAM is a leading global active asset manager that puts clients at the heart of what they do. Their ownership throughout Cambridge spans across Vision Park and Cambridge Research Park, totalling 675,151 sqft of assets on 125 acres, making them an expert in the local market.
RLAM is also the UK’s largest mutually owned Pension and Investment fund and a Responsible Investor: this means they have more ambitious environmental and social performance goals, and a critical governance structure to ensuring RPI is truly embedded across all stages of the property asset management. They have committed to achieving Net Zero Carbon emissions by 2030 for our directly managed property assets.
Their Property’s focus on sustainability across the portfolio is underpinned by two key strategies:
Responsible Property Investment (RPI) strategy: the RPI strategy sets out new, more ambitious environmental and social performance goals, and a critical governance structure to ensuring RPI is truly embedded across all stages of the property lifecycle (acquisitions, developments, and asset management).
Net Zero Carbon pathway: They have committed to achieving Net Zero Carbon emissions by 2030 for our directly managed property assets* and developments*, and by 2040 for our indirectly managed property assets**. To achieve these ambitious targets, they have developed strategies to reduce embodied carbon and increase the operational efficiency of our buildings to directly minimise our carbon footprint. Additionally, they are exploring options for on-site renewable energy as well as high quality offsets.
*Directly managed property assets are those which RLAM has complete operational control, greater than 50% equity share and joint ventures where they would cover the proportionate amount of emissions. Developments are any new development or major refurbishment that comes online from 2030 onwards.
** Indirectly managed property assets are either partially managed by RLAM or managed wholly by the occupier.
