Building Biodiversity: meet Workman’s experts
Vicky Cotton, Head of ESG, Workman
With 24 years’ experience in real estate, including 13 in property management, Vicky is extremely experienced and well-educated on ESG in the built environment. Across the full asset spectrum, Vicky’s expertise extends from issues around wellbeing in the workplace to increasing biodiversity on site.
Passionate about the environment and sustainable management processes, Vicky has created a Net Zero Asset Plan to lead clients through the process of achieving zero carbon emissions, in line with government targets for 2050, or sooner.
Vicky firmly believes that the climate emergency is one of the greatest threats that the property industry, and indeed the whole world, faces. “There is a huge collective responsibility ahead, within a limited timeframe and only one refurbishment cycle away – miss it now, miss it entirely.”
Well-versed within the field of environmental and sustainability management within the wider property industry, Vicky has strong relationships with several leading real estate investors, Better Buildings Partnership (BBP) and sustainability consultants.
