ESG Statement

Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) Statement

Local Government Property Consultants (LGPC) is committed to supporting councils in delivering sustainable, socially responsible and well-governed outcomes through their property and housing portfolios. Although we are a specialist, lean consultancy, our work sits at the heart of decisions that shape places, communities and long-term public value.

​

Our ESG commitments reflect both how we operate as a business and how we support our clients as strategic advisers.

Environment

LGPC maintains a low-impact operating model, built around digital-first working, minimal travel, and efficient use of resources. More importantly, our professional work helps councils meet their statutory and strategic environmental goals, including:

​

  • aligning estate rationalisation and disposals with net zero pathways

  • improving energy performance across ageing public-sector buildings

  • supporting renewable, retrofit and decarbonisation planning

  • encouraging land re-use that reduces environmental footprint and supports sustainable housing

​

We consistently integrate carbon, energy, lifecycle and compliance considerations into estate strategy, ensuring environmental responsibility is embedded - not added on.

Social

Local government exists to serve communities. LGPC’s advisory work is designed to strengthen that role, by:

​

  • supporting councils to release land for much-needed affordable and accessible housing

  • identifying opportunities for community facilities, meanwhile uses and social infrastructure

  • helping reduce reliance on costly temporary accommodation by repurposing assets for better outcomes

  • recognising the role of property in health, education, inclusion and place-making

​

As a consultancy, we operate ethically, respectfully and inclusively. We value fairness, transparency and diversity in all partnerships.

Governance

Strong governance underpins every recommendation we make. LGPC is committed to:

​

  • full compliance with public-sector procurement obligations

  • transparent, audit-ready documentation

  • strict adherence to UK GDPR and secure information handling

  • alignment with RICS professional and ethical standards

  • conflict-free, independent advice rooted solely in the public interest

​

Our work often informs Cabinet decisions, long-term financial strategies and statutory duties. We therefore ensure our advice is evidence-based, impartial, and capable of withstanding scrutiny.

Our Purpose

LGPC’s ESG commitment is simple:

​

to help councils manage their estates responsibly, sustainably and transparently - while improving outcomes for residents and communities.

​

We support local government not only through immediate challenges such as LGR, financial pressures and housing need, but also in building an estate that is fit for the future.
