ABOUT OUR SPEAKER

Emily Hamilton is Associate Director of Sustainability at Grosvenor Group. She is responsible for the sustainability strategy at Grosvenor Group, the global property and real estate company.

Emily leads the team providing expert advice to colleagues on developing sustainable cities including advising on air quality, carbon, waste, green spaces, biodiversity and climate risk. She also helped set Grosvenor's net zero carbon commitments across its portfolio and chairs Grosvenor's international Sustainability Knowledge, championing sustainability knowledge transfer across the business.

Emily’s presentation will tell of the story of Grosvenor’s journey to commit to become a zero carbon business by 2030 and the practical steps they have taken to start to position the business to achieve these commitments. She will also look at how Grosvenor is aligning its strategy to support the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.

And she will explore how part of the group’s focus is to look at the creation and management of its Supply Chain Charter which Grosvenor use to drive the agenda of change across all parts of the group and a critical measure of performance for all sizes of business.

About our Urbano Build & UWACTE Communities
Urbano Build is one of Urbano's most vibrant business communities with its own programme of regular networking events in London aimed at architects, developers, property investors, designers, interior designers and other professionals associated with the built environment sector to make connections, gather information, create associations and find new business opportunities.

Since Urbano began in 2011, we have had a proud track record of championing opportunities for women, especially in historically male dominated industries and sectors, such as construction and engineering. To develop deeper connections between women in SMEs and larger companies: UWACTE (Urbano Women In Architecture, Construction, Technology & Engineering*) where women in Urbano member firms can develop and enhance their connections across our network.

Around 50% of an Urbano Build event audience are female, as are 80% of all Urbano speakers.
