- Responsibility for sourcing energy and monitoring use rests with our customers for the majority of our portfolio.
- Obtaining good quality energy data and prompting our customers to purchase renewable energy is paramount.
- Data collection challenges related to embodied carbon from refurbishments.
- Data protection legislation in a number of the countries in which we operate makes gathering ethnicity data challenging.
