London accounting companies battle to be the greenest

BBC News - London accounting companies battle to be the greenest

"We're seeing a green arms race between various companies in a whole host of sectors - to be the greenest," says architect Richard Buckingham.

The latest evidence of this race to the top of the eco-league table comes in the form of two new sustainable buildings from two of the biggest accountancy companies in the world.

No sooner had KPMG opened their £340m eco-high rise in London's Canary Wharf - boasting an "excellent" rating on the international BREEAM standard - than rivals PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) finished their new headquarters a couple of miles away, upping the ante by receiving an "outstanding" rating for their gleaming glass building.
