Carbon Critical

We recognise that we need to act now to mitigate the effects of climate change. We continue to focus on the role planners, engineers and architects have to perform to respond to the changes, challenges and opportunities of a carbon critical economy.

We are well on our way to reach our 100 week target of raising awareness and actively engaging a significant proportion of our employees in Carbon Critical Design.

It is also important that we minimise our own negative environmental impact to climate change and therefore need to be carbon critical for our own operations in our offices and business travel. This is discussed further in the Our Performance section of this website.
