What Howard de Walden Estate say

"We are proud to be the first to sign up to CUBE. We must find new and innovative ways to reduce energy consumption in our buildings if we are to mitigate the impact of the built environment on climate change. It is the responsibility of us all, individually and collectively, and we hope that many more join this movement and take a positive step on the road to net zero."

- Laura Jockers, Head of Sustainability, the Howard de Walden Estate
