We aspire to be one of the world’s most sustainable firms, both in the way we design our projects and in how we operate as a business. Our commitment to cutting carbon starts at home, with our goal of achieving carbon-neutral business operations by 2030. Most recently, we bolstered this commitment by joining the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) for setting science-based emissions reduction targets. We engage our employees in the global effort to mitigate and adapt to climate change by establishing internal policies and practices, such as sustainable office guidelines, that complement our corporate responsibility goals. We’re committed to promoting sustainability – not just within our firm but across the industry and throughout our supply chain.

Emissions Report
In pursuit of our goal of carbon-neutral business operations by 2030 – and in line with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) – we’re aiming for a 5% reduction in absolute CO2e emissions (from 2018 baseline levels) each year. To achieve carbon neutrality, we’re reducing carbon emissions wherever possible and purchasing offsets to cover the rest.
Green Offices Report
As part of our efforts to achieve carbon-neutral business operations by 2030 and reach science-based emission-reduction targets, we’re moving into higher-performance offices and making our existing ones as efficient as possible.
Sustainable Procurement
As designers and consultants in the AEC industry, we rarely become involved in the purchase of building materials or other project-related resources, so our direct procurement activities tend to be limited to the purchase of office supplies.
