Bridging & Commercial Magazine — The ESG Issue

The ESG Issue of the Bridging & Commercial Magazine takes a deep dive into the progress the specialist finance market has made in terms of environmental, social, and governance initiatives. We introduce you to the ESG Forum which has been getting together regularly to solve how to commercialise the green finance space in a bid to accelerate its adoption, accessibility, and profitability for developers. We also discuss whether EPCs are still fit fur purpose; if the task of retrofitting the UK’s old housing stock is feasible by the government’s deadlines; if the insurance industry is ready and able to cope with increasing flood risk; and how ESG is built into the propositions of Islamic finance providers. In addition, we interview Begbies Traynor Group on its latest acquisitions, and Aspen Bridging on its new commercial bridge-to-let offering.
