Oliver Light is a Principal Director and Sustainability Lead for Private Equity and Real Estate at Accenture UK&I, where he advises some of the largest institutional investors and asset owners on decarbonisation, climate risk, and the transition to net zero. He sits on the UK:RE Sustainability Committee and holds further industry positions with GRESB (Expert Resource), the IIGCC (Real Estate) and CREFC Europe.
