Our ESG Strategy
The 2024 Agenda
for Sustainable Development
Building upon the success of our inaugural report in 2022 and 2023, HFW, Pledge and Panattoni, in conjunction with Analytiqa, publish the European Logistics and Supply Chain Sustainability Report.
Developing the unique insight published in last year’s report, the majority of our 2024 research seeks to update the views and opinions expressed in 2022 and 2023, as we start to build trends and analyse shifts in behaviour. We have also introduced several new research elements this year to focus on specific subjects of interest and we include three case studies, from GL Events, Noerpel Group and Coyote Logistics providing examples of ‘real-world’ ESG initiatives across supply chains.

Built-in sustainability
Our high standard specification harnesses Low and Zero Carbon (LZC) technology to prioritise energy efficiency and reduce operating costs.
Two of the biggest causes of energy waste are lack of natural light and heat loss through air leakage. All Panattoni buildings include 15% roof lights as well as ‘supertight’ building envelopes as standard. Our intelligent lighting systems results in a reduction in electricity consumption by up to 70%.
In the summer months a major driver for the overuse of air conditioning is solar heat gain. Panattoni considers the orientation of office space and window positioning at the planning stage to design out solar gain. We also specify glazing with optimum reflectance, reducing the need for air conditioning still further.
BUILDING BEST PRACTICE
- A build specification that exceeds statutory requirements
- Minimising the use of finite resources, favouring sustainable and renewable resources
- Reducing transport during construction by locally sourcing materials and components
- Baseline BREEAM ‘Very Good’ with the ability to aim for an ‘Excellent’ rating where conditions allow
Beyond the building
The green spaces surrounding our developments are opportunities to protect nature, enhance diversification and improve well-being.
Nature and Biodiversity
Investigating the ecological footprint of each development to create a site-specific mitigation, protection and enhancement plan
Landscaping with trees and shrubs to enrich the surrounding ecosystems
Habitat creation for key protected species
Shelters for invertebrates, insects and birds, protecting and promoting biodiversity
Sustainable urban drainage measures, considering the effect of climate change on global weather patterns
People and Places
Electric vehicle charging points, with infrastructure for additional charging points as required
Bicycle parking shelters
Schemes to minimise car travel
Develop a green transport plan in collaboration with local planning authorities
STANDARDS
AND COMPLIENCE
Our high standard specification harnesses Low and Zero Carbon (LZC) technology to prioritise energy efficiency and reduce operating costs.
It is based on the principles of achieving optimal performance, care for the natural environment and multiple use, reconstruction and renovation.
MORE ABOUT BREEAM
In continental Europe, Panattoni also take best practice from LEED and WELL standards to provide the highest-class environmental buildings, ensuring suitability for the future as well as the present.
