A number of BBP member organisations, including British Land, Canary Wharf Group and Hammerson, have achieved positive results in reducing the environmental impacts of their buildings by engaging with their occupiers through green building management groups – forums comprising the owner, occupiers and building management representatives and established to achieve reductions in resource use and waste generated in their building. These groups provide a platform from which to review the environmental performance of a building and to share ideas on how to improve its operational and occupational efficiency.
The new toolkit provides guidance on how to set up one of these groups and how to get the best out of it. It also provides a number of practical tools, including a template introductory presentation, environmental action plan and example performance reports. UK-GBC's Paul King said: "The landlord-tenant relationship is often cited as one of the main barriers to improving the sustainability performance of commercial buildings. The toolkit is an important and practical step to overcoming this barrier, by encouraging a partnership that can both improve performance and create value for all parties.”
