Sustainability Reporting with Cheyne Capital

Carbon.Climate.Certified has worked with Cheyne Capital to design and implement a structured framework for sustainability reporting across their real estate portfolio. Our role has been to provide a consistent methodology for assessing, measuring, and reporting sustainability performance at both development and operational stages of each asset’s lifecycle.

A central part of our work has been the application of the Carbon Risk Real Estate Monitor (CRREM), a science-based tool that evaluates operational energy performance against climate aligned benchmarks. By integrating CRREM into Cheyne Capital’s reporting processes, we help to identify potential transition risks such as premature obsolescence or misalignment with future regulatory standards, supporting both investor transparency and long-term asset resilience.

The framework extends beyond operational energy performance. It incorporates reporting on embodied carbon through Whole Life Carbon Assessments, alongside supporting deliverables such as Pre Demolition Audits, Site Waste Management Plans, and Green Building Certifications. This holistic approach ensures that environmental impacts are monitored across construction, operation, and end of life phases.

Reporting requirements are embedded into key project gateways, covering due diligence, practical completion, and annual operational reviews. At each stage, sponsors and project teams are required to provide consistent data and evidence. Carbon.Climate.Certified consolidate these outputs into Cheyne Capital’s Sustainability Monitoring Tool, creating a clear overview of performance metrics and alignment with best practice standards across jurisdictions.

Through this collaboration, we have delivered a scalable and transparent sustainability reporting approach that enables Cheyne Capital to manage risk, demonstrate accountability, and adapt to evolving market expectations. This project highlights Carbon.Climate.Certified’s expertise in creating practical, science-based frameworks that support institutional investors in meeting both regulatory requirements and investor demand.
