Our team of sustainability experts are highly experienced in providing overarching sustainability support to clients to reduce the carbon footprint of their projects. Our service is founded on our holistic approach which means we consider sustainability across all aspects of the built environment.

The ability to provide a cross-discipline assessment is crucial to achieve true results on your path to net zero, and our cross-sector experience spans all scales of project, from major master planning to an individual asset.

Developing sustainability strategies and frameworks for projects, we identify core themes such as wellbeing, biodiversity, ethical supply chains and water efficiency, and establish targets to ensure these aspects are fully considered, integrated and monitored through to project completion. Sustainability is at the heart of our design approach.

Our engineers and environmentalists are trained to apply methods and measures that monitor both operational and embodied carbon throughout the design process. We can map your entire life-cycle carbon journey from cradle to completion, as well as in operation and ultimately through to demolition and repurposing.

We develop strategies in line with UKGBC’s framework for delivering Net Zero buildings. Our guidance and analysis support the implementation of the strategies needed to achieve Net Zero, including whole-life carbon assessments, circular economy statements, climate resilience and energy strategies or appropriate offsetting. We are at the forefront of implementing Material Passports in the built environment and are implementing this across our portfolio of new projects.

As part of our environmental, social and governance (ESG) business advisory service, we carry out a full Sustainability Review which draws out the key ESG issues which are most important to your business, customers and brand.

As your sustainability partner, you can rely on us entirely. We work with you to formulate your brief and targets to futureproof your assets and help secure a brighter future for our planet.

PODCAST: Passports and Banks Aren’t Just for Humans

What if the buildings we live and work in could be designed to last forever? Dr. Ankit Singh joined Pippa Boyd from the University College of Estate Management to discuss how we can shift from the traditional “take, make, break” model to one where materials are reused, repurposed, and regenerated.

Exploring the potential of the circular economy in the built environment, the experts highlight examples of this principle in practice. They critically examine the role of material hierarchies and discuss the real challenges and benefits of implementing the concept of the circular economy within the built environment.

With 80% of the buildings that will exist in 2050 already built, could this be the key to achieving net-zero?
