Case Study
Paris La Défense Aréna
Visiting one of London's most iconic buildings, also known as "The Walkie-Talkie," on its Green Team Meeting day was a truly insightful experience. It was exciting to see property managers, tenants, and businesses all in one place, sharing their energy-saving wins through the Go Dark Project and other green efforts.
