Sustainability and ESG expectations are evolving at a pace that is reshaping how organisations operate, govern and communicate. Regulatory frameworks are becoming more demanding, investor scrutiny is intensifying, and leadership teams are under pressure to demonstrate credible, decision‑useful sustainability performance. Long‑term resilience now depends on approaches that are practical, defensible and firmly rooted in how organisations actually make decisions.

RZB Advisory (https://rzbadvisory.com) helps organisations navigate this complexity with clarity and confidence. Led by Richard Betts, formerly a Partner at EY and ERM, the firm brings senior‑level expertise and deep regulatory insight to every engagement. RZB works across the UK, EU and internationally, supporting clients as they respond to CSRD/ESRS requirements, align with UK SRS and IFRS S1–S2, strengthen climate and nature strategies, and prepare for assurance‑ready ESG reporting.

The firm partners with organisations across sectors, from built environment and infrastructure to energy, financial services, manufacturing and consumer industries, helping leadership teams translate evolving sustainability and climate expectations into practical strategy, governance and reporting. RZB Advisory’s work is grounded in independent thinking, real‑world implementation experience and a clear focus on board‑level decision‑making. The firm works selectively, prioritising depth over volume, and tailoring its support to each organisation’s maturity, context and objectives.

RZB Advisory’s services span the full sustainability and ESG lifecycle. This includes:

• designing data architecture, KPIs and governance for UK SRS and IFRS S1–S2 disclosures

• preparing organisations for CSRD through double materiality, gap analysis and disclosure design

• strengthening ESG reporting and assurance readiness

• developing science-based climate strategies and credible transition plans

• assessing climate risk through TCFD-aligned analysis

• building nature strategies grounded in TNFD and LEAP frameworks

By focusing on what truly drives organisational resilience, strategy, governance, risk, data and credible reporting, RZB Advisory helps clients build sustainability capabilities that stand up to regulatory, investor and auditor scrutiny while supporting long‑term value creation.

Anabeya (www.anabeyacap.com) was founded on a simple but powerful premise, that the next era of real estate value creation will emerge from platforms that are both commercially strong and fundamentally responsible, designed to enhance the planet and improve people’s lives. While investor demand for responsible real estate has surged, the market still lacks institutional-grade platforms capable of delivering this vision at scale. Anabeya was established to address this gap.

The firm brings together decades of experience in product formation, platform innovation, and more than $30 billion of PropCo investing. What differentiates Anabeya is its ability to blend the discipline of growth equity with the hands‑on acceleration approach typically seen in venture environments. This combination allows the firm to identify high‑potential operators early, partner with them deeply, and help them evolve into institutional‑quality platforms capable of programmatic growth.

At the core of Anabeya’s model is a partnership‑driven Co‑GP approach. Rather than building platforms from scratch or competing with emerging operators, Anabeya aligns with next generation developers and asset managers who are already pioneering new ways of delivering sustainable, people‑centric real estate. These partners often have strong concepts, differentiated capabilities, and early traction, but need strategic guidance, operational structure, and access to capital to scale responsibly. Anabeya steps in as a strategic co‑builder, offering governance, capital relationships, and seasoned oversight without adding unnecessary fee layers.

This approach is particularly relevant in today’s market. Institutional investors are increasingly prioritizing sustainability aligned strategies, yet sourcing high‑quality, responsible real estate opportunities remains fragmented and resource‑intensive. Many LPs are building internal capabilities and moving toward more direct investment models, but they still require trusted partners who can originate, curate, and scale platforms that meet institutional standards. Meanwhile, early stage operators with innovative models often lack the capital, systems, and asset management depth needed to grow beyond their initial footprint. Anabeya sits at the intersection of these needs.

With intentional planning, aligned capital, and structured platform development, these emerging businesses can scale programmatically unlocking both strong financial performance and meaningful impact. Anabeya’s role is to accelerate that journey.

Today, the firm is advancing partnerships across several high‑growth, sustainability‑aligned verticals:

• Sustainable Self‑Storage: A developer using modular, recycled construction methods to deliver Grade‑A sustainable assets faster and at lower cost than traditional approaches.

• Eco‑Friendly Affordable Student Housing: An asset manager acquiring first‑ and second‑generation PBSA at attractive discounts, executing value‑accretive capex programs, and stabilizing portfolios for core and core‑plus capital.

• High‑Efficiency Housing Operators: Platforms aggregating EPC‑A‑rated housing stock through forward‑funding and forward‑commitment structures to build resilient, sustainable core‑plus portfolios.

Across these partnerships, Anabeya’s vision remains consistent: to profitably transform the built environment into spaces that support both planetary health and human well‑being. For investors seeking exposure to the next generation of responsible real estate platforms, with institutional discipline and meaningful scale potential, Anabeya offers a differentiated and timely opportunity.

Real asset owners face growing pressure to perform, navigating market volatility, tightening regulation, and rising sustainability expectations across the full investment lifecycle. Long-term value creation now depends on strategies that are both fundamentally grounded and proactively managed, with sustainability and innovation embedded from the outset.
