The McBains ESG team has been shortlisted for ‘ESG Team of the Year’ as part of the Unlock Net Zero Awards, which seek to celebrate individual and organisational contributions to a carbon free future for the UK housing sector.
Taking place alongside the Housing 2025 conference, the awards showcase positive climate action and the great work being undertaken across the housing, built environment and property sectors to deliver a successful net zero transition.
Our ESG team, comprising Tassos Kougionis, Alex Jahanshahi-Edlin, Irina Leigh, Anya Blanchfield, Will Hammond, Kaushik Jayaveeran and Martha Beirne, are all immensely dedicated to driving forward the ESG agenda. They've built a reputation for innovation, best practice, and the delivery of measurable results; delivering projects that provide real-world benefits for communities, clients, and the environment.
Committed to decarbonisation and energy efficiency in both new build and retrofit projects, the team provides building assessment, design and bespoke sustainability services to public and private sector clients with a recent focus on decarbonising local authority and social housing domestic and non-domestic stock.
We're incredibly proud of our ESG team and the transformative work they deliver, and wish them the best of luck at the awards dinner on June 24, 2025, when the winners will be announced.
