Longevity Partners: Longevity Partners doubles turnover for 7th consecutive year
Munich, 29thth of March 2022
Longevity Partners doubles turnover for 7th consecutive year ESG consultancy, Longevity Partners, reports doubling of annual turnover for the seventh consecutive year following 12 months of global expansion, the execution of a strategic growth plan, and the expansion of 5 new offices in Munich, Milan, Austin, Seattle, and New York City. During 2021, Longevity Partners increased turnover to 7.7 million euros (2020: 3.7 million euros), of which 787,000€ came from the German office, following its first full year in operation. The growth follows increased client demand from flagship companies like CBRE IM, DWS, Axa, BlackRock, and Credit Suisse for Longevity Partners’ end to end real estate sustainability consultancy services which range from ESG strategy and climate risk analysis through to sustainable design, regulatory risk management, and net zero carbon strategic advice. The consultancy has responded to the rapid growth in demand for ESG services with a threefold increase in its global team, including the appointment of nearly 100 new experts in the last 12 months, to support clients with projects in over 40 countries. In March 2022, Longevity Partners was recognised in the Financial Times 1000 (FT1000) list of Europe’s fastest-growing companies ranked by revenue growth, emerging as Europe’s number 1 fastest growing pure ESG consultancy, and earning spot 260 across all sectors in Europe. The full service ESG consultancy credits its rapid growth to a bold approach to global expansion in the face of the increased awareness of climate risk across the sector. The business prioritises the growth and diversification of the deep technical expertise in its talent pool to support expansion in geography, and services. Its strategic growth plan aims to position Longevity as the leading ESG advisory in Germany and across the globe by reinforcing its capacity for net zero design, technical advisory, and strategic management. Without requiring additional capital, Longevity Partners is aiming to continue this expansion rate in 2022, with plans to grow the global workforce to over 200 employees over the next 12 months. With the strategic appointment of Carolin Meier, who recently joined the Munich office as Associate Director Germany, Longevity Partners aims to expand its technical expertise across all areas of its business. The former architect brings with her over 7 years of experience as an architect in design, development, and construction quality management of large-scale, complex projects, including the delivery of two of the most iconic building projects in Switzerland for the world-renowned, Pritzker-Prize winning architecture firm Herzog & de Meuron. With her unique technical expertise, Carolin now leads Longevity Partners’ international Net Zero Carbon design team and supports German clients on all net-zero emissions issues. Carolin Meier, Associate Director Germany, says: “The Longevity Team in Germany will continue to grow in 2022. In close cooperation with our clients, we find project- and situation-specific solutions to cover the entire field of sustainability. Net zero carbon strategies will play an even more important role in the future.” “In addition to the certification of existing and new buildings, the German team will increasingly focus on sustainability due diligence, energy and Net Zero Carbon audits, as well as individual and holistic building development. The latter includes aspects such as biodiversity and circular economy and goes beyond the assessments of a certification. We therefore develop individual solutions that focus on the sustainable health of the building project, its users, and the planet at all levels.” “The different areas of ESG criteria are extensive and interlinked in a complex way, as well as being accompanied by many regulations and provisions, so that we want to continue to provide our clients with an all-encompassing overview and the best possible path to a sustainable and net-zero future.” Etienne Cadestin, Founder and Global CEO of Longevity Partners, said: “During the past twelve months, the corporate world has transformed the way it addresses ESG and responsible investment to tackle climate change. Rapid, systemic and colossal mitigation and adaptation is needed and now is the time to act. “The entire property industry has awakened and leaders now understand the cost of inaction. They have a collective responsibility to ensure we meet the climate goals and secure a much more resilient society for future generations, and Longevity allows them to do that. “As a talent-focused company, we know that recruitment is key to maintaining our growth trajectory and quality. This is why we’ve invested in new offices around the world and supported our teams with world-leading continuous training. We have also developed very tight partnerships with some of the world’s leading universities to welcome a selection of graduates. In January we promoted 24 colleagues to reflect the growing technical capabilities and expertise we have in the business. Over the coming year we’re looking forward to increasing our technical expertise, sharing our knowledge and expertise with new clients to deliver the climate goals and shape the future of real estate while ensuring robust returns. “In just over 6 years, we have become the fastest growing ESG advisory business in the world, and to respond to client demand, we’re preparing to double again for the 8th consecutive year in 2022.” This year, Longevity Partners will launch a new office in Tokyo, while also expanding its services in Green Finance, Infrastructure, and Climate Risk, through the launch of dedicated service lines. The expansion of the Longevity Partners headcount will continue, with plans for seventy new experts to join the team over the same period. As the industry works to meet net zero targets and policies mandated by individual governments, Longevity Partners is working toward a scheme with several industry leaders which will act as a new standard to strive toward, bolstering the company’s efforts to help the world’s businesses transition to a low carbon economy.
