BRIEF: Green to Gold, is a report on the research and information of sustainbility and economy within property.

INSIGHT: After looking into previous versions, I discovered that each one had it’s own personal design theme. However, thWey didn’t really tell a story.

OUTCOME: After reading though the report and their research findings, I felt that the use of impactful imagery is what was needed, as the economy is seriously effected by natural issues we have, i.e global warning.

The report splits its research into five focus areas. I gave a symbol to represent each section, that would then follow through the design. The report discusses the issue of - who will take the lead on fixing this planet. On the front cover I chose the king chess piece as chess represents strategy, but also is the ‘leader of the board’.

SERVICES: Project management, InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, print.

It is possible the bull run since the last survey has to some extent disguised the influence of sustainability on investment pricing, stock selection and decision making. Certainly, at a transaction level and with the weight of money to invest, investors are keeping the parameters of their requirement wide and their decision making around sustainability issues at an Investment Committee or Fund level.

Although these conditions have made it challenging for valuers to unpick explicit drivers of sustainability in the final price, as the advent of MEES approaches it is likely risk to be more explicitly reflected as a capital cost in valuations.

Insights

How to reflect sustainability risks and opportunities in pounds and pence appears to still elude much of the market.

Two-thirds of the fund and portfolio managers say they don’t assign specific costs and that they also believe that both valuers and investment agents fail to adequately reflect the issues. Valuers will of course only reflect the market and so if two-thirds of purchasers are not explicitly pricing in sustainability then it is unlikely to convert into market valuations. Similarly, investment agents will only comment on and factor in sustainability issues if their clients are communicating to them that it plays a part in their decision making.

The situation is not helped by the two areas identified as most greatly affected by sustainability being obsolescence and tenant retention, which are two of the hardest factors to value. Valuers are currently more likely to reflect risks implicitly, until such time as more evidence arises from clear trends in the market.

The findings point to the market feeling that the impact of sustainability has reduced on both the determiners of value and across the different sectors of property. This may be why a lack of progress on strategy, reporting and implementation is illustrated in the earlier responses, but this is a worrying sign for the industry as the wider global, political and business trends show the risks to only be increasing.
