Here at Grosvenor Property UK, we are celebrating the launch of our Net Zero Carbon Update report for 2020. One of our key pillars to achieving our sustainability goals is bringing our partners with us as we simply can’t do it without them. In this two-part special, we will be speaking with two of our partners about sustainability and collaboration. We will be exploring how learning from and working with other businesses is fundamental to our progress, and how Grosvenor can help accelerate the efforts of our partners.
Part 1 sees us speak with one of our occupiers, Daylesford Organic, one of the most sustainable farms and food retailers in the UK. Their tagline is 'Working with nature' and as such, they place sustainability at the heart of what they do. Their Head of Sustainability, Will Dennis, tells us what sustainability means to them, how Grosvenor has supported them and what advice they can give to other businesses in their own pursuit of sustainability.

Zeroing in on Sustainability Episode 3. Continuing with our discussion around Grosvenor Property UK's goal of zero waste, we will be delving into the idea of the circular economy and how this can lead to better use of resources and less waste. The Ellen MacArthur Foundation is leading the movement for building a more circular economy so we are delighted to be speaking to Olivia Finch, a Portfolio Manager at the Foundation. We will attempt to define circularity and how it can be used to re-imagine how we consume resources for the benefit of both people and natural systems.
