Lambert Smith Hampton (LSH) has made two key new appointments to its Environmental and Social Governance (ESG) team. The new arrivals will add to a team led by LSH’s Head of ESG and Sustainability, Federico Montella, who joined earlier this year.

Deborah Ajulo joins as Sustainability Manager and will be responsible for providing sustainability support to LSH’s Property Management teams as well for supporting the delivery of LSH’s corporate ESG goals. An experienced environmental analyst, she has obtained the CFI introduction to ESG certification and joins from Canary Wharf Group.

Hannah Kingsley joins as Sustainability Manager and will provide sustainability support to LSH’s Building Consultancy teams. She joins from Arup, having previously held roles at Capital & Counties, KPMG and Transport for London and advised clients including FIFA, Imperial College and Museum of London.

Federico Montella, Head of ESG and Sustainability at LSH, said:

“With growing demand for consultancy services in the ESG arena, we are focussed on growing our depth of expertise and resources. Both Deborah and Hannah have a proven track record and will make a significant contribution to the continued growth of this service line.”

Ezra Nahome, CEO of LSH, added:

“Growing our ESG capabilities remains a key strategic priority for this business as clients across both the public and private sectors are turning to us for answers. Through a combination of our growing ESG function and existing strengths in property management, facilities management and public sector consultancy, we are well on course to creating a credible centre of excellence for ESG solutions.”

Alongside consultancy services, LSH’s ESG team is also responsible for the design and delivery of internal policy and sustainability targets and challenging the business to set and meet environmental and social targets, as well as expanding its consultancy offer. 

Recent commitments from LSH include a pledge to achieve net zero carbon status by 2030 and to ensuring that all business lines provide market leading ESG compliant products and services.
