United Kingdom
EuropeThe United Kingdom is one of CRREM's most actively adopted markets, with extensive use across institutional investment, fund management, and regulatory reporting. CRREM pathways are frequently referenced in MEES compliance, GRESB reporting, and net-zero carbon strategy.
Property types covered in the United Kingdom
CRREM provides science-based decarbonization pathways for 11 property types in the United Kingdom. Each pathway defines the carbon and energy intensity targets from now to 2050.
