Why the Human in the Building?

The world has changed. It’s not just the pandemic, not just the environment, we’re in a new era. ESG is not a fluffy, nice to have aspiration, it affects everything - from the ability of a business to attract staff to the share price of global multi-nationals, from productivity levels to profit. Your buildings need to reflect this. Not just built to contain people but to enable them to do their best work.
