Carbon neutrality, climate change and biodiversity, the Greenwich roadmap. Let’s build long-term sustainable paths together.
Greenwich has been working in environmental sustainability consulting since 2007 with established specialized and multidisciplinary expertise. Through planned, targeted and measurable actions, it responds to the specific needs and ongoing challenges its clients have to face in the areas of environmental sustainability, carbon neutrality, climate change and biodiversity.
Companies are increasingly challenged to consider in their business model and development strategies the need to measure progress in sustainability and climate change, as it can cause negative impacts on the climate and their own business operations.
To drive real change inside an organization, Greenwich’s multidisciplinary teams analyze and create pathways to identify integrated strategies that positively impact, in terms of sustainability, impact reduction, and resilience, both its industrial process and the value of its real estate assets and corporate image and activities.
Together with Greenwich, real estate development companies, investment funds, construction companies, and manufacturing companies of various types understand the risks and opportunities that come from climate change and what strategies to implement to transform, monitor, and continue to improve on their sustainability goals and achievements over time.
In relation to these objectives, Greenwich offers itself as a partner, for its clients, to develop a maturity process that from compliance leads to leadership by traversing the three supporting assets of an organization, which are:
- The Corporate aspects: ISO certifications, CFO, Sustainability Report.
- The Buildings, Stores, Sites: Green & Healthy Building certifications, Consulting to reduce a building’s carbon footprint, building carbon footprint calculation, biodiversity index.
- Products and services: environmental product certifications, product carbon footprint, LCA studies, C2C.
Moving on the growth
Greenwich was founded in 2007 and with its team of experienced and multifaceted consultants, participated in the “Green Renaissance 2.0” in Milan, working on the most prestigious real estate projects, first in Porta Nuova, then in City Life and from there in Italy, Europe and the World. Leaning on a solid and cohesive group of qualified LEED AP, BREEAM ASSESSOR, BREEAM AP, WELL AP, FITWELL AMBASSADOR consultants, he has supported his clients in international projects, applying the protocols of the certifications and interpreting the various design and construction realities: from Pre-Assessment, to Design and Construction and from Commissioning to Energy Modeling. With the European Green Deal and the announced overarching goal of achieving climate neutrality in Europe by 2050, Greenwich’s Green and Healthy Business Unit expands their specialized services dedicated to the Real Estate sector, integrating strategic consulting for reducing a building’s carbon footprint and for CREEM, GRESB standards, ESG criteria and European Taxonomy compliance for Funds and SGRs. The division is growing rapidly to become the company’s core business with over 700 projects executed and certified.
At the same time, the demand for LCA studies and Environmental Product Certifications is growing from companies and organizations that want to reduce their impact on the environment and improve the eco-efficiency of their operations. Greenwich develops an in-house team dedicated to pathways designed for product ecodesign by applying LCA methodology and aimed at achieving carbon neutrality and environmental product certification goals. The team today performs Carbon Footprint assessments, Green Mapping and supports clients in all stages of major product environmental certifications (EPD, PEPecopassport, FSC, FDES, C2C).
Greenwich EHS and ESG Due Diligence Business Unit also receives an enhancement. Tried-and-tested EHS assessment services are being joined by new ESG assessment services to quantify and improve a company’s level of ESG maturity and identify strategic guidelines needed in case of risk, sustainability report and supply chain sustainability audit.
Greenwich has also been involved in biodiversity augmentation and enhancement services for a few years. It supports the design of a new type of buildings that include strategies and design solutions for concrete enhancement and conservation of the natural environment in which they fit, and is the first consulting firm in Italy to have an accredited BiodiverCity® Assessor to assess and promote the value of biodiversity in real estate. Among the most prestigious biodiversity projects in which it is involved is the Symbiosis urban renewal and development project near Porta Romana in Milan.
