Media Article (BE News) -- Knight Frank has appointed Olivia McCue from Turner and Townsend as an ESG consultant in the firm's energy and sustainability team.

McCue was a junior sustainability consultant at Turner and Townsend who specialised in helping real estate clients measure, manage and reduce energy consumption to achieve wider sustainability aims.

At Knight Frank, she will report into Jonathan Hale, Head of ESG Consulting, and support growing demand from clients for ESG advice.

McCue said: "At such a pivotal time for the built environment to apply an ESG lens to all that it encompasses, I'm thrilled to be joining this industry leading team. This is a topic of growing importance as the real estate market accelerates its focus on environmental responsibility and social purpose.

"My move to Knight Frank aligns strongly with my interest in enabling a lasting positive impact on our environment and society through real estate, and I greatly look forward to learning and growing with the team."

Hale added: "Whilst the real estate landscape continues to weather market turbulence, our client demands on ESG consulting services remain strong. With a pressing need for both portfolio-wide and asset-level ESG strategies, driving sustainability performance and reaching net-zero are mission critical objectives, and are used as health indicators for responsible real estate ownership.

"With a growing list of reporting obligations, our clients are seeking guidance to navigate these challenges, and I am delighted to welcome Olivia to the team to extend our capabilities."
