The Crown Estate Director - Net Zero Lamé Verre: ‘We’ve got the right ingredients – we just need to bake the cake’
The key to driving net zero efforts is to recognise and balance the organisation’s “sphere of control and sphere of influence”.
As a land owner acting ‘for the benefit of the nation’, The Crown Estate holds considerable influence in the UK’s sustainable transition – yet it cannot do it alone. For Director - Net Zero Lamé Verre, the key is in recognising and balancing the organisation’s “sphere of control and sphere of influence”.
The Crown Estate manages a £16 billion portfolio of land property and seabed across England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Over the last decade, the business has returned £4.1 billion of profits to Treasury from leasing urban, rural and maritime space to retail, agricultural and marine operators. And in addition to its financial contribution, it also has a strong mandate to create a positive impact for net zero, nature and communities.
