Cromwell Property Group partnered with Deepki to streamline ESG data collection and reporting across its European portfolio. The Deepki platform automates utility data collection, enabling better asset performance insights, energy and carbon reduction planning, and compliance with European regulations. By March 2023, 74% of Cromwell's European assets were integrated, allowing for improved energy tracking, tenant data collection, and carbon accounting. 

This initiative supports Cromwell’s ESG strategy with clearer reporting and actionable sustainability targets​.
