Sustainability

Practical solutions

Every building and project will provide sustainable solutions and leave a smaller footprint in the world. Our practical approach delivers sustainable solutions that make business sense.

Lasting value

Sustainability is an integral part of our services and lasting value beyond your project is part of our commitment. Our expertise is drawn from our multi-disciplinary design, construction and project management teams. Through their extensive experience, we provide long-term cost savings, increase resource efficiency and reduce risk.

A sustainable future

Many global organisations have adopted internationally recognised sustainability programmes. We are advising clients on how to incorporate these into their future business. Programmes include the UN Sustainable Development Goals which are a call for action by all countries – poor, rich and middle-income – to promote prosperity while protecting the planet.

Commitment to sustainability

Our commitment to sustainability is demonstrated through:

• ISO 9001 accredited workflow procedures which embed sustainability into our project delivery services platform (e.g. mandatory Project Sustainability Review etc)
• 3rd Party accreditation such as Achilles, EcoVadis, CDP and the Business in the Community Mark certification
• Environmental and Sustainability Policy and Projects Toolkit

Corporate responsibility

Sustainability is a key part of our Corporate Responsibility (CR) programme. CR to us is about creating a better business - for our clients, our people, our stakeholders and our communities.
