DTRE announces expanded role for Head of Sustainability

DTRE has today announced that Amelia Balkwill, Head of Sustainability, will take on an expanded role, supporting DTRE’s growing European capital markets offering.

Already a contributor to European Logistics Forum’s ESG Group, a gathering of sustainability leaders from across the continent, Amelia has developed a significant European client and supplier network, working with the world’s largest logistics operators.

Last year, Amelia was also seconded to one of the world’s largest industrial real estate investors where she developed an asset management strategy for over 1,100 European assets to futureproof the portfolio against stranding, compliance and physical risks. The project, called the Climate Resilience Analysis, provided individual decarbonisation pathways in support of the business’ wider Net Zero strategy.

Since the launch of Sustainability Consultancy at DTRE, Amelia has brought this experience and data-led approach to grow DTRE’s own offering, integrating sustainability across all the business’ sector teams. This has included research papers such as DTRE’s Sustainability Handbook and events, including a round table attended by sustainability leaders and experts, as well as internal workshops to grow DTRE’s own capabilities.

For investors, developers and occupiers alike, clarity on sustainability expectations and performance is an increasingly critical route to value. Through a research-led and data-driven approach, DTRE provides tailored insights into portfolio risk and mitigation, guiding clients through the full life cycle of their assets. It is an approach that has been supported by the further growth and development of DTRE’s already market-leading data platform.

In Europe, DTRE is partnered with RIBE: a specialist Italian adviser with over 100 years’ combined experience, led by Gianluca Begnini. The RIBE team has recently expanded to include Antonio Lodi, former EMEA Senior Director at DHL, and Federica Marani, who will lead the occupier team having held senior positions at DHL, BLG, DSV and GXO.
