CBRE has hired Allan Wickham as head of occupier within its ESG consultancy team.
Wickham joins from NatWest Group, where he led the bank’s climate strategy for its global operations. As head of climate and data services, Wickham was responsible for getting the bank to net-zero carbon across its own operations by 2020 and to “climate positive” in 2022. This includes achieving a greater than 70% carbon reduction, delivering renewable energy procurement and power purchase agreements, and establishing nature-based projects to generate carbon credits.
Prior to NatWest, Wickham served as the head of property specialist services at Royal Bank of Scotland for five years.
In his new role he will be responsible for implementing and managing a corporate occupier-focused sustainability service offering in the UK, driving the sustainability agenda for CBRE’s extensive corporate occupier client network.
Kaela Fenn-Smith, managing director of ESG consultancy at CBRE, said: “Allan joins CBRE with more than 15 years of international experience with strong ESG credentials. His appointment will bring significant expertise to our clients, cementing our ability and dedication to providing a best-in-market service for our corporate occupier clients.”
