In September 2020, as part of our ambition to bring our industry together to tackle climate change on a greater scale, Mace issued a survey to over 600 company CEOs and sustainability leads across the globe.
The focus of the survey was on how the carbon challenge is being tackled across property estates and infrastructure.
The findings explore how the sector is addressing climate change, looks at what common challenges exist and shares key learnings from across the world.
The follow up report intends to inform and accelerate action in the industry through shared knowledge and greater collaboration.
