Attracting next-gen socially conscious global talent
Electrification is not only about future-proofing commercial assets and protecting the environment. Premium customer tenants are demanding high performing sustainable workplaces that reflect their own corporate ambitions and targets to achieve net zero.
Margot Black, General Manager Corporate Sustainability, Investa, says that, “More than half our portfolio tenants have a publicly stated net zero or 100 per cent renewable energy ambitions.
“Prospective tenants looking to relocate express a preference to be in buildings that are powered by 100 per cent renewable electricity and net zero in operation. For Parkline Place, it’s been a delightful conversation that we can meet their expectations from the outset rather than having to put other plans in place.”
It is not only corporate head offices that have sustainability goals. Workers also want to play their part, and have their say. Climate action is a hot topic in recruitment.
“There’s a real emphasis now on the workplace experience. People want to feel good about where they work,” explains Hannah.
“More tenants are focusing on the internal environment quality of the building and its health and wellbeing benefits. They know it improves employee satisfaction, productivity and retention.”
Margot agrees. “For employers, Parkline Place allows them to authentically walk the talk by providing them a workplace that's in a highly efficient and net zero building,” she says.
“Parkline Place will be net zero ready for all its new tenants. We can’t wait to open the doors to welcome them in 2024.”
