We minimise the amount of steel used in our foundation designs, saving both cost and embodied carbon emissions. We are working towards providing all of our clients with transparent data on the Energy Return on Energy Invested (EROEI) of our designs to allow for better reporting and carbon-positive decision making.
We understand that carbon reduction alone is not the only element of sustainable development. We are leading a Joint Industry Project (JIP) working to to optimise and accelerate the roll-out of nature-inclusive design elements within new offshore wind farm developments. We hope that all new offshore windfarms can one day become havens of biodiversity, and we're taking practical steps to make that happen.
While we reduce the embodied carbon of our designs, we strive to reflect this in our own practices. We monitor our greenhouse gas emissions as a business and we are in the process of developing effective plans for carbon reduction to align with science-based Net Zero targets.

2023 Sustainability Report Published
B Corp Certified, September 2024.
We are proud to be designing the global energy transition, but it doesn’t stop there. Our commitment to sustainability means we’re determined to make our design output biodiversity positive, reduce our overall impact as a business and to decarbonise where possible in the race towards net zero.

We are currently monitoring all of our business travel and modelling estimates of greenhouse gas emissions as a result.
We are working towards finding ways of reducing business travel, both internally and for clients. Considering how we can minimise air travel and opt for remote meetings where possible.
Our net-zero goal: business travel only when deemed necessary. Carbon emissions from travel tracked and offset through sequestration.

We are currently working with landlords to track and monitor electricity, gas and district heat consumption in our offices.
We are working towards implementing strategies for carbon reduction in all of our offices, whether through switching energy supplier, improving efficiency of appliances, or changing our practices.
Our net-zero goal is for all of our offices supplied with renewable energy and unnecessary energy use is minimised.

We are currently tracking our asset purchases as a business. Identifying products and purchases which can potentially be substituted for more sustainable alternatives.
We are working towards implementing switches for subsequent asset purchases. Pushing for a focus on re-use and refurbishing of older hardware rather than purchasing brand new.
Our net-zero goal business assets purchased from responsible suppliers with sustainable product lifecycle. Hardware is refurbished and re-used where possible, and disposed of sustainably where not.
We are currently estimating carbon emissions as a result of data stored through our current cloud storage provider, as well as from our remote machines.
We are working towards identifying cloud storage providers who demonstrate minimal carbon emissions from data storage.
Our net-zero goal: Cloud data storage is responsibly managed to reduce unnecessary usage and through a supplier with positive sustainability practices.
We are currently surveying our employees to see commuting habits, and providing incentives to switch to low-carbon commuting options, such as a salary-sacrifice bike scheme.
We are working towards identifying where we can reduce carbon from commuting, and potentially offer further incentives to encourage switching.
Our net-zero goal: A culture of employees opting for low- or zero-carbon methods of commuting and rewarded through incentives.
