In October 2022, we conducted an independent poll through a research and data analytics group to collate the views of over 1,500 senior business leaders on how organisations are tackling the carbon challenge in the UK and the US.
We also invited over 3,000 Mace clients to take part in our annual global survey (for the third consecutive year) that specifically focused on property and infrastructure portfolios and views of the industry.
