Doing our bit - a responsible business
Our vision is to positively impact our communities, the built environment and the world. We aim to make a real, positive difference for the environment, communities, our people and everyone we work with.
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) is a massively important agenda globally and one that is at the very top of our priority list. Across our business, we have the knowledge, expertise, connections, and resources to make buildings perform the best they can, for both people and planet, so we are right at the heart of helping our clients and our governments achieve their ESG goals and commitments.
Environmental impact
To reduce the threat of climate change and mitigate the associated effects, we must reduce waste, resource consumption and carbon emissions. As a consultancy, the biggest impact that we can have is helping our clients meet their ESG aspirations. We recognize our responsibility to drive energy efficiency, protect resources and find innovative ways to deliver on our clients’ sustainability goals.
Our environmental strategy focuses on minimizing our carbon footprint as a business, collaborating with industry to find innovative ways to reduce impacts and building our in-house ESG capability to support clients to meet their goals.
Social value
Social value is about recognising the importance of social, economic and environmental wellbeing across our communities; and that as an organisation we play a vital role in delivering these benefits for our stakeholders and wider communities. This includes evidencing the value that this creates for them.
Our social value strategy focuses on social mobility, inspiring the next generation through our apprenticeship and graduate programme, and supporting causes and communities through charitable giving and pro bono work.
