A lot of process towards realising net zero in food retail is visible. It shows up in electric fleets, reduced, recycled or recyclable packaging and energy efficient store operations, in particular refrigeration. What is less visible is the role real estate – the stores themselves as well as the warehouses forming part of the supply chain - plays in shaping long-term emissions.

Automation matters, but the best logistics buildings will still be judged by how well they support the people who work in them every day. For all the attention on automation, the central question for food logistics has not changed: how do you create a warehouse where people can do their best work? Robotics, AI and goods-to-person systems are reshaping operations, but they are not eliminating the need for human talent. If anything, they are raising the standard for the kind of workplace employers need to provide.

We often talk of roads, ports and railways as the historic arteries of economic growth, enabling trade, movement and the expansion of industry. But in today’s economy, it would be wrong not talk about data centres in the same way.

How the Industrial & Logistics sector is playing a key role in facilitating overseas investment in the UK

As the UK accelerates towards an AI-enabled, cloud-first economy, the question is no longer whether digital infrastructure matters, but where and how it should be scaled

Data centres are often misunderstood, from water use and jobs to grid impact and local benefits. We bust five common myths and explain how modern facilities are designed to be efficient, resilient and community-conscious, helping the UK build the digital capacity it needs with public trust.

Machine-learning data centres demand high-density, high-power compute, while cloud facilities prioritise connectivity and low latency. We explore how understanding these and other differing requirements is essential for planners, policymakers and investors

Artificial intelligence, robotics and automation are already reshaping how businesses operate across retail, logistics and manufacturing

For years, operational carbon emissions have rightly taken centre stage in net-zero strategies. Regulations and performance standards have focused on reducing emissions from heating, lighting and powering buildings, areas where progress is visible and measurable.

Contrary to what one might think at first glance, logistics buildings offer a potential sustainability advantage compared to other asset classes such as office, retail or residential

Every time we stream a film, check our bank balance, order dinner online or plan a holiday, we rely on a vast network of physical infrastructure that most people never see: data centres

Real estate isn’t just about buildings, it’s about helping to create an inclusive economy. One that benefits all
