Hines Names First-Ever Chief Carbon Officer
Hines has established the position of chief carbon officer to lead the firm in assessing its global carbon emissions and develop the strategy to set and achieve the firm’s science-based targets. New York-based Michael Izzo, formerly VP-construction in Hines’ U.S. East Region, has been appointed to this role.
“Based on his deep technical expertise and successful implementation of decarbonization strategies with some of our new projects, we are thrilled that Mike has agreed to lead the carbon strategy for our firm as we embark on creating carbon standards for the built environment,” said Peter Epping, global head of ESG at Hines.
In his new role, Izzo will engage with the firm’s global teams to provide strategic leadership, ensure continuity and successful progression on the firm’s strategy and commitments to help lead the industry’s carbon emissions response. AS VP-construction, he helped identify carbon emission reduction opportunities in Hines’ Hudson Square portfolio.
