Property consultancy goes green with new ESG partner
Property consultancy, Fisher German, has appointed Rachel Bridge as the firm’s new ESG partner.
Bridge has been with Leicestershire-based Fisher German since 2007 and brings experience from the firm’s infrastructure services division. She has a strong background in account management and managing infrastructure assets, along with knowledge of green energy and the transition to Net Zero.
Her governance experience includes chairing the Pipeline Industries Guild and leading its sustainability workstream for the Guild’s 2025 strategy.
In addition to her professional achievements, Bridge is an advocate for equality, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) and mentors young professionals. She also promotes careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) to young people as a STEM ambassador.
In her new role, she will advise clients on their environmental, social and governance (ESG) strategies, ensuring their properties comply with legislative requirements and meet internal ESG targets.
Bridge said: “I’m pleased to take on the new role of ESG partner at Fisher German. We are seeing an increasing number of companies make corporate ESG targets outside of legislation, and having a dedicated Partner working in this area demonstrates Fisher German’s understanding of its importance.
“At Fisher German, we have acted for landowners on more than 150 solar parks, 80 anaerobic digesters and 600 farm and commercial-scale wind projects, we advise on 750,000 acres of estate land and have a 99.4 per cent success rate in planning applications. I will be working closely with our planning, agribusiness, natural capital and sustainable energy teams to help service clients from across the business.”
Liberty Stones, divisional managing partner for advisory services at Fisher German, said: “ESG criteria plays a crucial role in our decision-making, and in building lasting value for our clients. We are delighted to have a dedicated Partner working with our people and clients to prioritise ESG.”
