ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE (ESG) POLICY

Consistent with our values, we recognise our own responsibilities and impacts as a business, including the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) issues that affect us, our clients, and our stakeholders, and over which we have control or influence.

Hambleden's ESG approach is guided and underpinned by the following core principles:

ESG integration into client services

We will engage with our clients and stakeholders to deliver a sustainable future
Integrating material ESG considerations into our professional advice, especially those relating to climate change, environmental and social impact, health, wellbeing, diversity and inclusion, across all property types and lifecycle stages we advise on.
Through research, trends analysis and strategic foresight, helping our clients to anticipate and respond to the evolving demands on property and place, so that their assets are resilient to social, economic and environmental change.

Partnering and business relationships

Taking a principled and values-based stance to all stakeholder relationships, including by aligning our strategic partners of choice to those that share our aspirations and ethos on ESG.
Improving the ESG requirements we place on our suppliers and service providers and working with them constructively so they can respond accordingly.

Demonstrating leadership and accountability

Exceed our statutory compliance obligations and assist our clients to do the same.
Uphold the highest standards of internal governance, including by insisting on a culture of accountability and transparency through which we will be open with our people, clients and other stakeholders on progress towards our ESG Goals.
Leveraging our knowledge and experience to engage in thought leadership on ESG with the wider industry and backing this up with practical solutions where we can.

Using data and intelligence wisely

Leveraging technology and data management systems to optimise our use of space and the performance of our office, particularly from resource efficiency, greenhouse gas emissions, health and wellness points of view.
