Great Portland Estates (GPE) is a highly respected central London Property Investment and Development company quoted on the London Stock Exchange. The Company, which employs just over 100 people, owns around £2.5 billion of real estate – primarily commercial but also retail and residential - 100% in central London. The business focuses on acquiring, managing and developing properties – to reposition them and unlock their full potential. This approach, combined with successful reading of the real estate market, continues to deliver shareholder returns and makes for a dynamic environment in which to work.
At GPE, sustainability touches everything we do and sits at the core of the business. Managing and balancing the needs of our occupiers, investors and the communities in which we work, is key to maintaining the long-term value of our business. Our Sustainability Statement of Intent ‘The Time is Now’ sets out our long-term vision focused around four key pillars:
- Decarbonise our business to become net zero by 2030
- Design climate change resilient and adaptable spaces
- Create a lasting positive social impact in our communities
- Put health and wellbeing front and centre
This role supports the vital data collection and analysis work, essential for demonstrating delivery towards our Statement of Intent, The Time Is Now and progress against our Roadmap to Net Zero.
Reporting to the Sustainability Lead, the aim of this role is to assist the Sustainability Lead in supporting the development, portfolio management and customer experience teams in integrating sustainability across the business.
