The building is now powered by renewable energy, sourced through a Renewable Energy Guarantee of Origin (REGO) contract.

Grace Lewis, investment manager at CEG, said: “It’s fantastic to welcome a global brand like Fujitsu to Verdant. The redevelopment sought to deliver a more environmentally friendly building through the installation of new glazing, energy efficient heating, lighting and ventilation, as well as providing tenant facilities to encouraging cycling. Fujitsu is recognised as one of the world’s leading socially responsible companies and its team at Verdant will benefit from contemporary, healthy and energy efficient workspace.”
