Broccolini: Advancing Sustainability With BOMA BEST Certification
A Shared Commitment to Decarbonization
Sustainability and environmental stewardship have rapidly become central concerns for organizations, driven by regulatory frameworks, fluctuating energy costs, and increasing expectations from investors, tenants, and communities. Recognizing these evolving priorities, Equans Services has designed its "Carbon Shift" initiative to support organizations in reducing their environmental impact and aligning business operations with Net Zero objectives.
The Challenge: Broccolini's Need for Sustainable Solutions
Broccolini, a prominent developer managing a diverse portfolio of buildings, identified the need to align their properties with the rising ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) demands of investors, lenders and stakeholders. Broccolini sought to establish a strong foundation in energy and environmental management across seven buildings of various industrial-light types, ranging from mini storage units and bicycle retailers to light manufacturing and warehouse facilities.
Our Response: Achieving BOMA Best Certification
To help Broccolini initiate their decarbonization journey, Equans Services assisted the certification of seven buildings under the prestigious BOMA Best standard. This represented Broccolini's first iteration in environmental certification, setting robust foundations for energy efficiency, resource optimization, and environmental stewardship.
