Carbon Proof

Commercial real estate · UK & Europe

Carbon Proof measures where commercial real estate stands against net zero — and defines the capital pathway to bring it into alignment.

We support investors, asset managers and their advisers across the UK and Europe with analysis robust enough to underpin investment, financing and reporting decisions.

What we do

Net-zero benchmarking

We assess each asset against the CRREM decarbonisation pathway for its use and market and establish its misalignment year — the point at which projected energy or carbon intensity is expected to exceed that pathway. The result is an asset- and portfolio-level view of transition risk that bears on valuation, capital planning and compliance.

Retrofit planning

Where an asset is misaligned, we define the route back: the interventions required, sequenced in a deliverable order and costed against published UK and European benchmarks. The output is a costed, prioritised capital plan suited to budgeting, business planning and lender engagement.

Basis of assessment

Our analysis is CRREM-aligned and fully reproducible. Every figure is traceable to primary or recognised industry evidence, and each assessment can be reconstructed and re-verified at any future point — which is what allows the output to be relied upon in investment-committee, transactional and audit settings.
