Environmental & Sustainability
Our environmental and sustainability services centre around care, balance and respect for nature, people and the planet’s resources to create sustainable, positive outcomes.
We care deeply about the places we help shape. We want them to be better balanced, more respectful of people and nature, and built with long-term value in mind – not just for today, but for future communities too.
Our experience has shown us that sustainability and commercial success go hand in hand. Our experts understand the growing impact of the here and now of the climate crisis and the impact this has on the built environment and the financial markets.
We provide trusted counsel to our clients, helping them navigate compliance and the regulatory and legislative ecosystem. We help them to derisk projects, unlock funding and ultimately deliver long-term value for communities.
We design in a way that not only considers the project site but the wider ecosystem that surrounds it. Identifying green/blue corridors, existing green space, historical and cultural assets and how people live and move through an area.
Working with what you have on a site, not going against it can save significant time and money and create more resilient and future proofed solutions. Our core philosophy is to engineer less and contribute more.
We see the compatibility of nature and technology, by embracing the potential and predictive role AI can play in informing solutions, helping to make smarter data driven decisions and creating efficiency.
We work with empathy, creativity and care, considering what was there before to learn from the ground up. We adopt a system thinking and people-led approach, joining the dots together to create a full picture of what was there, what is there now and what could be there in the future.
