Montagu Evans has appointed ESG consultant Oliver Pye as its new head of sustainability.
Pye (pictured) has joined the agent from ESG and energy management consultancy Evora Global, where he worked for the last six years as director. During his time at Evora, he advised global real estate investment clients on their ESG strategies and implementation.
Before that, he was a senior ESG consultant at Arup, where he advised a range of blue-chip property companies and public sector clients.
In his new role, Pye will set the strategic direction and overall sustainability and environmental ambitions for the firm, reporting directly to managing partner Rob Bower.
Pye will engage with business lines and teams across the partnership and seek to enhance the integration of sustainability advice into client relationships and existing and future projects.
He is a chartered environmentalist and full member of the Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment.
Pye said: “This role presents a huge opportunity to support the firm and its clients on their sustainability journey and to deliver significant positive impact across the full trinity of sustainability objectives (economic, social and environmental); for our clients, wider society and ourselves.
“Naturally, carbon is going to be a major priority, including advising on decarbonisation of existing buildings and carbon reduction strategies during design, planning, construction and operation, but I will also have a wider-reaching brief across a range of other areas.”
