The Move To Green
In July of 2022, we relocated our London office to the fifth floor of the iconic Fenchurch Building, commonly known as “The Walkie-Talkie” building, to better accommodate our rapidly growing European footprint.
One of the considerations in selecting the new space was sustainability.
As of one of the most environmentally conscious buildings of its type in London, The Walkie Talkie:
• Was built with certified sustainably sourced concrete and structural steelwork, conforms with thorough heat loss performance standards, and was built with FSC certified timber – one of only 80 projects in the world that have achieved this certification. • Achieved a BREEAM Excellent rating; BREEAM is the leading science-based suite of validation and certification systems for a sustainable built environment. • Contains the UK’s largest green wall that houses an expansive plant and insect ecosystem. • Utilizes roof-mounted solar panels that generate roughly 27,300kWh of electricity per year. • Features the first hydrogen fuel cell to be installed in a commercial building in London, which generates 300kW of low-carbon and low-emissions electricity, reducing the building’s CO2 output by roughly 270 tons per year.
We are proud to have our London offices housed in one of the most distinguished and green structures in the London skyline.
