Global, independent multi-disciplinary engineering consultancy, Cundall, has strengthened its sustainability team by appointing Darren Berman to lead its Strategic Sustainability Services. Darren will support Cundall’s clients to navigate the increasingly complex regulatory and reporting landscape, help manage the growing climate related risk and support clients deliver net zero and a positive social impact.

He joins Cundall with a wealth of prior experience supporting real estate investors, developers, corporate occupiers and public sector organisations to develop and implement ambitious sustainability strategies. With over 20 years of experience in the property sector, Darren has led sustainability teams at CBRE, JLL and most recently Cushman & Wakefield. Darren qualified with a Mechanical Engineering degree from Imperial College, London and then went on to get an MBA from Warwick Business School.

Commenting on his new role, Darren Berman said:

“I am really looking forward to leading Cundall’s Strategic Services team. It is a great time to have joined considering their commitment to sustainability and target to only work on net zero projects by 2030. The business has a clear passion for sustainability across all its disciplines.

“By combining Cundall’s engineering excellence with its strategic expertise we can develop stronger partnerships with our clients as we work together to accelerate the industry’s transition to net zero and maximise our social impact.”

Simon Wyatt, Sustainability Partner at Cundall said:

“We are starting to realise how vital strategic sustainability services are alongside the technical net zero advice we already provide for our clients. Strengthening our team in this field will go a long way for the business to provide quality and holistic services.”

Cundall’s sustainability team now has over 150 subject matter experts from net zero carbon to social value and climate resilience.
