Sustainability at Fen Court

At Fen Court, sustainability shapes how the building is designed, operated and shared. A building for planet, people, place… and The City.

Planet

Built and managed to the highest environmental standards, with efficient systems and a rooftop garden that actively supports biodiversity in the Square Mile.

Social

People

Free public access to the garden, Hogarth Court and Skyframe means Fen Court is a working part of The City. Open and useful to everyone, not just those inside it.

Community

Place

The public roof garden, the community art programme and a commitment to the neighbourhood make Fen Court more than an office building. It invests in the place it occupies.

Bringing biodiversity to the City

Native planting attracts pollinators and seasonal life to the rooftop. Rain-fed systems keep the garden thriving throughout the year. Free to visit, with space to sit, meet or take in the planting.

Setting the standard

A vision for the future

In June 2025, Fen Court achieved BREEAM In-Use Outstanding certification, a rating held by fewer than 
1% of assessed buildings worldwide.

We work to drive improvements each year, reducing our impact through constant monitoring and process refinement. We are committed to the Paris Agreement’s 1.5°C pathway to net zero, with a target to reach it well ahead of 2050.
