Achieving progress in the move to greater sustainability in any organisation requires fundamental changes in how we manage and direct our businesses. This requires the buy in of all the stakeholders, the internal team, our clients and our suppliers. Our experience with change management is that it is only truly successful if you change culture.

That’s why, when Bannon started on its sustainability journey a number of years ago, we stopped using plastic bottled water and switched to chilled tap water, provided keep cups for the team’s caffeine obsession and started using electric scooters, thankfully now legal, and Dublin City Council bikes to get to local meetings.

Simple changes like this accompanied the more significant changes such as moving our entire Property Management portfolio to renewable energy sources. Making the big moves required for a sustainable future is easier to achieve when the simple changes are clear and evident.
