Iceland’s Richard Walker: Pandemic creates ‘watershed moment’ for sustainable property

This week we focus on the sustainability agenda, looking at the key findings from our Active Capital report and speaking to a leader in the field – Richard Walker, Managing Director of Iceland Foods.

Richard has been setting an example across both the retail sector – with Iceland having just published its own plastic footprint and called on other grocery chains to do the same – and property. Anna speaks to Richard and Theo Michell, both co-founders of Bywater properties about the property sector’s efforts to reduce its carbon footprint. 

But first, Anna catches up with our Commercial Research Partner, Victoria Ormond. Victoria contributed to our Active Capital Report which came out last week – and one of its key themes is sustainability.
