Real estate and investment management-focused services provider JLL announced the launch of a new Energy Advisory and Sustainability practice, aimed at providing energy-focused, end-to-end sustainability services to real estate investors and commercial and public sector clients.

The new practice will be led by Josephine Tucker, who has been appointed Americas Head of Energy Advisory and Sustainability at JLL.

JLL is an international commercial real estate and investment management company, advising clients in 80 countries on real estate investments, property management, and project design. Its Energy Advisory and Sustainability practice offers clients assistance with finance and procurement, energy modelling, and project and program management, the company said. The practice includes a comprehensive team of technical specialists to provide expertise on energy sourcing, efficiency, and end-use optimization, including technology integration such as EV-charging, on-site/off-site renewables, battery storage and microgrid solutions.

Tucker will report to Sanjay Rishi, CEO of JLL Work Dynamics, Americas, the company’s corporate real estate business, formerly known as Corporate Solutions.

Rishi said:

“In response to accelerating demand, we have established a dedicated practice for energy advisory services to expand our sustainability offerings. Josephine is a recognized authority in the clean energy field, and I’m excited that more of our clients can now benefit from her leadership and the expertise of her team.”

Tucker joined JLL in 2022 to lead its Clean Energy and Infrastructure Advisory services to address aging infrastructure and provide renewable transaction services to clients. She also serves as Global Head of Sustainable Infrastructure, with a focus on renewable transaction services. Prior to joining JLL, served as a Senior Manager at Deloitte and has also served as Senior Economist – Energy Infrastructure Advisory at Jacobs, and she brings more than 15 years of experience in energy, real estate and transportation, with a focus on strategy, finance and economic analyses.

Tucker said:

“Market demand for clean energy and infrastructure is at an all-time high. More and more companies are seeking to reduce their carbon footprint while, at the same time, we see this rapid acceleration of power demand from data centers, reshoring of manufacturing and the electrification of everything from buildings to cars to infrastructure. This fundamentally changes how businesses own, operate and lease spaces. As a leading real estate management and consulting company, JLL can play a huge role in servicing energy demands and reducing emissions. I’m thrilled to lead that effort.”
