Nathalie Palladitcheff is an active promoter of the Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria. For example, since January 2021, Ivanhoe Cambridge has tied the remuneration of all its employees, including executives, to emissions reduction goal as it commits to cut net carbon emissions to zero by 2040.[11] Later in February 2021, Nathalie Palladitcheff has been chosen to become Chair of FREY’s Mission Committee. FREY is France’s first "mission-driven" REIT, which has adopted a "mission statement" together with social, societal and environmental goals.[12][13] She is also advocating to convert office buildings to residential, sustainably with investment in technology. As she likes to state: “The best building for the planet is the building that you don’t build”.[14]

In June 2023, Nathalie Palladitcheff received the Pierres d’Or award in the “Professional of the Year” category, one of the most prestigious award in the real estate industry in France.[15][16]
