Knight Frank, the global property consultancy, has expanded its ESG Consultancy team with the appointment of Harriet Hix as Senior ESG Consultant.
Harriet’s role will focus on supporting the ESG Consultancy team as demand for client advisory services increases given soaring requirements for all owners of real assets to demonstrate ESG integration, implementation and progress reporting within their respective markets for the benefit of the stakeholder. Real estate owners are necessitating both portfolio-wide and asset level ESG strategies in addition to a growing list of reporting obligations to drive sustainability performance and reach net zero.
Harriet joins Knight Frank from AA Projects, where she was an Energy and Sustainability Consultant. She has a diverse range of skills and expertise covering ESG strategy, lifecycle analysis and embodied carbon, net zero carbon solutions and green building certification.
This latest addition at the firm follows Jonathan Hale’s appointment as Partner in the ESG Consultancy team to lead and grow Knight Frank’s offer throughout the property lifecycle. Harriet will support Jonathan in providing clients with rigorous guidance in their ESG strategies.
Jonathan Hale, Partner and Head of ESG Consulting at Knight Frank, said: “We are thrilled to be welcoming Harriet into our expanding ESG Consultancy team to strengthen our client offer around ESG advisory services. She will play a vital role in supporting our clients looking for advice throughout the real asset lifecycle. We’re pleased to be growing our team which is further indication of the importance of our ESG capabilities as more companies seek to align their real estate strategies with sustainable values.”
