Commenting on the appointment, Longevity Partners CEO Etienne Cadestin says:
“We are really pleased to be working with The PHA Group as we look to increase our profile within UK media, and are confident that the team will help us tell our story to a wider audience as we enter the next stage of growth. Businesses and individuals have entered a vital ‘decade of action’ with more and more investors and corporates looking to increase their ESG-related investments. The timing is right for the media to be discussing this in more detail; examining the ways in which we can shape tomorrow’s cities, adapting the built environment to achieve science-based climate-risk targets.”
Mimi Brown, Head of the Entrepreneur and Business division at The PHA Group comments:
“Climate risk management – and positive action – needs to be a top business priority, and Longevity Partners’ expertise is desperately needed as property investors and owners battle with climate stress and the associated risks and opportunities this poses the built environment. Heat and buildings are responsible for 40% of the UK’s carbon emissions, so we are delighted to be championing the work of a business which is actively working to reduce this. We look forward to working with Longevity Partners and its ambitious team of experts as the company continues to grow at pace.”
