“We aspire to become a market leader in ESG, and positively impact on the property sector and the wider communities and environments in which we operate.
“Jenine’s focus will be on developing and implementing meaningful ESG strategies to help Knight Frank Australia elevate our sustainability profile, create great outcomes and enhance our investment decisions for our partners.
Cranston said, “My skillset is unique mix of extensive property experience and knowledge, and a genuine and deep commitment to the environment.
