Corporate sustainability
Our engagements
What we pledge to do
We believe sustainability should be managed with the same discipline as budget and schedule. That means clear targets, measurable actions, and accountability at both the corporate and project level. We are embedding sustainability into the core of our operations to drive innovation, operational excellence, and long-term value for our clients, our people, and our business.
Environmental
Greenhouse gas reduction
- Reduce emissions from in-house activities, including restricting airline travel to only the essentials
- Reduce embodied carbon on projects through design and material efficiency
- Improve operational carbon outcomes by supporting energy-efficient systems and operational performance planning
Sustainable procurement
- Prioritise local sourcing where feasible to reduce transport impacts and strengthen local value chains
- Support responsible sourcing, including sustainable forests and lower-impact materials
- Promote shorter supply circuits where quality and programme allow
Water resource protection
- Improve water efficiency during construction through planning, monitoring, and good site practice
- Support effiecient operations through water-efficient fixtures, greywater reuse, and wastewater treatment
Biodiversity protection (where applicable)
- Identify biodiversity risks and opportunities early, especially on sensitive sites
- Encourage protection and restoration measures where they are practical and meaningful
Solid waste management in construction
- Reduce packaging waste where possible through procurement choices and site controls
- Improve segregation and disposal practices to reduce landfill impact
Social Labour welfare and communities
Promote fair, safe, and respectful working conditions across project sites
- Promote fair, safe, and respectful working conditions across project sites
- Encourage good practice in worker accommodation, safety, and basic welfare standards
- Engage contractors on minimum expectations and compliance
Governance
Responsible and fair procurement practices
- Promote ethical, transparent procurement across contractors and suppliers
- Encourage fair evaluation and contracting practices
- Strengthen accountability through documentation, traceability, and reporting
Our Corporate Sustainability Programme
We are aligning our approach with globally recognised frameworks so our targets and reporting remain credible and comparable.
1
Phase 1
Mastering our carbon footprint
- Carbon accounting using the GHG Protocol
- Set near-term reduction targets and establish a baseline
- Develop a strategic reduction pathway toward Net Zero alignment
- Goal 1: We will develop a strategic reduction pathway and have our near-term science-based emission reduction targets officially validated by SBTi.
2
Phase 2
Expanding beyond carbon to ESG
- Broader ESG reporting, including waste, water, labour practices, and governance
- Formalise policies, controls, and internal reporting rhythms
- Goal 2: Our first Sustainability Report
We will publish our inaugural sustainability report aligned with GRI standards, detailing performance across key environmental, social, and governance topics.
How this impacts projects
1
Phase 1
Carbon budgets at project level
Every new project are assigned a carbon budget for embodied carbon, alongside its financial budget.
2
Phase 2
Project performance tracking
We develop an internal rating system to score projects against their carbon budget and other sustainability metrics.
What does this mean for clients ?
- Clear sustainability goals that support long-term asset performance
- Practical guidance during planning and design, where the biggest outcomes are decided
- Better-informed trade-offs that consider durability, operations, and lifecycle value
- Trackable metrics that can support brand requirements and stakeholder reporting
