Today marks a very special day at Trident Building Consultancy.

As a proud B-Corp company, we take sustainability extremely seriously, both in terms of helping our clients become more sustainable and ensuring our own operations are optimised, as well.

But now, we are taking a giant leap forward in this vital area of our industry.

We are launching a brand-new division – Sustainability Services– to cement our position at the forefront of the construction sector’s journey to net zero.

To head up this division, we have appointed a highly respected and deeply knowledgeable expert, Darren Berman.

Darren brings with him 25 years of experience in sustainability, including building a consulting team focused on decarbonisation, renewables and sustainable design which played a leading role in helping the GLA and London authorities pioneer the first sustainability-led planning policies.

After this, Darren went on to establish CRBE’s sustainability practice and then led JLL’s sustainability team, shaping strategies for public bodies, corporates and investors, including some of the sector’s first climate risk frameworks and net zero strategies

Darren’s leadership of Sustainability Services will significantly enhance Trident Building Consultancy’s services in sustainability.

The new division will manage risks in acquisition, optimise sustainability in development and refurbishment; and help portfolio owners and occupiers to reduce their environmental impact and maximise social value across their operations. This will be achieved through a host of new services, focused on:

• Sustainability strategy
• Sustainable design and construction
• Managing climate risk
• Optimising asset performance
• Delivering net zero
• Creating social value
• Demonstrating impact through certification and reporting

Darren said: “My new role at Trident is all about helping clients make a tangible impact, whether through developing new buildings or repositioning existing ones to guard against obsolescence, manage climate and regulatory risks, and deliver cost-effective pathways to net zero while meeting tenants’ ESG expectations.”

Managing Director, Dan Roe, described Darren’s appointment as a huge addition to the business.

He said: “We have launched our Sustainability Services division  to help the construction and property sectors take the steps they need to do to achieve new zero and create social value.

“With Darren at the helm, I am confident that we will be able to make a huge difference in the area of sustainability.”
