Chapman Taylor’s Marcelina Zielinska to speak at Building for the Future: The UK ESG Real Estate Conference
Chapman Taylor Group Board Director Marcelina Zielinska will be speaking at Building for the Future: The UK ESG Real Estate Conference, taking place in London on Thursday 8 October 2026.
Chapman Taylor is also proud to be a lead sponsor of the event, which will bring together developers, investors, lenders, occupiers and built environment professionals to examine how the UK real estate industry is translating ESG commitments into measurable environmental, social and commercial outcomes.
Building Net Zero from the Ground Up
At 14:15, Marcelina will participate in the conference’s Construction & Development section, joining the discussion “Building Net Zero from the Ground Up.”
The session will explore how developers are responding to embodied carbon targets, where circular economy principles are being successfully implemented at scale, and the circumstances in which new-build development can still provide a compelling whole-life carbon and financial case when compared with deep retrofit.
Drawing on Chapman Taylor’s international experience across architecture, masterplanning, regeneration and sustainable design, Marcelina will bring a design perspective to the discussion around how net zero ambitions can be embedded from the earliest stages of development.
From ESG commitments to measurable performance
The conference comes at an important time for the UK property industry, as environmental performance, carbon reduction and social value increasingly influence investment, planning, asset management and development decisions.
Discussions throughout the day will examine some of the most pressing questions facing the sector, including the future of existing assets, the relationship between retrofit and redevelopment, embodied and operational carbon, ESG governance, social value and the role of technology in improving building performance.
The programme will also explore how the industry can close the gap between predicted and actual building performance, manage the risk of stranded assets and develop credible strategies for meeting increasingly ambitious sustainability targets.
Chapman Taylor’s involvement as a lead sponsor reflects our commitment to advancing conversations around responsible design, sustainable development and the long-term performance of buildings and places.
We look forward to joining industry colleagues in London and contributing to the discussion about how the property sector can deliver meaningful and measurable change.
