Grosvenor Group Sustainability Director Tor Burrows: ‘You can make money by doing the right thing’
Before taking the helm of Grosvenor Group’s sustainability strategy in 2023, Tor Burrows spent a decade on its commercial team – and she’s confident that profits and sustainability go hand in hand.
“My passion is businesses being a force for good. You can have policy and legislation, you can have philanthropy: they're all much needed and amazing, but to really accelerate progress and change, you need businesses. You need a commercial case,” she tells CSO Futures.
“With my commercial background, I find it so exciting that you can make money by doing the right thing.”
Grosvenor Group’s latest results suggest that the diversified property organisation has found this commercial case: in 2024, profits were up across all of the group’s individual businesses, which include property, food and agtech, and rural estates.
