GRI (UK and European RE investors): London, February 2025

One of the earlier events in the annual calendar, focused around real estate finance. Much of the conversation centred on the economic outlook for 2025 and the implications of the new US administration on inflation, lending appetite, interest rates and growth. Cautious optimism was the consensus.

Energy & Environment Alliance (EEA) Sustainability Symposium: London, February 2025

Leading figures from across the hospitality sector came together with the IFRS Foundation to shape new global standards for sustainability reporting. With ESG performance increasingly influencing insurance, investment and lending decisions, the industry is now working to ensure sustainability data is treated with the same rigour as financial data. A global consultation will now gather input from key stakeholders to refine existing standards and propose new ones, informing recommendations to the EU Commission, Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), and Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI). Discussions also underscored the need for standardised metrics, better data systems, role-specific training, and the clear financial benefits of integrating sustainability into core business strategies.

International Hospitality Investment Forum (IHIF) EMEA 2025: Berlin, April 2025

Disruption was the theme across many of the sessions, but the mood was still relatively upbeat with investors and operators hoping to be able to take advantage of opportunities that might come their way.

Future Hospitality Summit (FHS) Saudi Arabia: 11 - 13 May 2025

We are always keen to meet current and prospective clients. Please get in touch with Richard Williamson, to arrange a time to meet up: rw@considerategroup.com

Compliance with Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) disclosures is mandatory for large UK-incorporated companies meeting at least two of the following criteria: 

Turnover greater than £36 million, 

Balance sheet total of over £18 million, or 

250+ employees.

At Considerate Group, we offer end-to-end support for SECR compliance. We have extensive experience producing asset-level reports for individual properties, helping management teams understand their energy and carbon performance in detail. We have also recently completed SECR reporting for a group of luxury hotels, enabling them to meet statutory obligations while gaining insights that support broader sustainability and efficiency goals.

Our SECR approach is about more than just meeting regulatory requirements - it provides the foundation for better data-informed decisions and future energy-saving strategies. If your hotel’s financial year is ending soon and you fall within the scope of SECR, now is the time to act. Please get in touch to ensure your report is accurate, timely, and of greater benefit than just a tick in the compliance box.

If you operate hotels in France, you’ll know that Décret Tertiaire requirements are well underway—with annual submissions to the government platform OPERAT now expected from all qualifying buildings. Whether you’re facing your first submission or navigating historical data challenges, getting it right is essential to stay compliant and aligned with France’s carbon reduction ambitions.

We’re already supporting hotel clients across France in meeting their Décret Tertiaire obligations. From data validation and carbon trajectory planning to accurate, on-time submissions, our team of sustainability and data experts understands the operational realities of hospitality—and how to meet regulatory demands without overcomplicating the process.

If you’re unsure whether your hotel qualifies, need support with your OPERAT submission, or want to future-proof your compliance approach, we’re here to help. Let’s get your hotels on track. Reach out to us at info@considerategroup.com for a conversation.

In February, the EU Commission officially confirmed its Omnibus deregulation package, rolling back key elements of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), and the EU Taxonomy, as a direct response to concerns over Europe’s competitiveness, triggered by the protectionist stance of the new US administration.

Despite political and regulatory challenge, major institutional players remain committed to sustainable investment over the long-term, focused on stewardship of their assets in order to meet future liabilities.

Sustainability in the real estate and hospitality sectors has become focused on core priorities: Climate resilience; Decarbonisation and Net Zero; Operational efficiencies and cost reduction. 

This aligns with our service offering at Considerate – and with our mantra, it’s all about the data! We recognise that not everyone in the hospitality sector is a sustainability convert, so our approach is data-led, looking for operational savings and prioritising investment with a high RoI and shorter payback period. Today’s agenda is about brand protection, returns, effective risk management and regulatory compliance.
