Sustainability
We create workplaces with people and the planet at the forefront. We aim to design and build out negative environmental impacts, maximise resource conservation and utilise technology to truly understand the nature of a space.
Whether you are planning a full building refurbishment or an office move, our in-house sustainability team can help you meet your sustainability goals.
Office design process
Our team works with you to understand your sustainability goals. This could be a sustainability assessment for the entire project or a specific sustainability focus for one part of the scheme.
Our sustainability experts work with you and the project team to find the best route to achieve your project’s sustainability goals.
During the design stage, our sustainability team works closely with your project’s lead designer to ensure sustainability is considered throughout the entire design process.
Sustainability team members liaise with the project manager to implement and monitor sustainability measures during construction and on site.
We provide you with the supporting documentation that proves the sustainability goals of the project have been met.

Organisations we’ve worked with
Verified Nature Investments
We offset our carbon emissions with accredited carbon credits through Ecologi, who fund carbon offset projects around the world. We invest in both carbon avoidance and carbon removal projects.
Carbon avoidance represents the prevention of carbon emissions that would have entered the atmosphere without the intervention of a carbon avoidance project.
Carbon removal is the process of taking carbon out of the atmosphere and locking it away so that it cannot contribute to further climate change.
We have offset 151 tCO2e through various projects, meaning we have offset all our carbon emissions for 2022-23.
Carbon Avoidance Projects
This project distributes fuel efficient ‘Jikokoa’ cookstoves to communities around Kenya, which reduce charcoal consumption by 64%.
The Matavén REDD+ project protects 1,150,212 hectares of tropical forest in the Indigenous Reservation of the Matavén Forest, preventing emissions which, in the absence of the project activity, would have taken place.
The Ouarzazate solar power station makes use of thousands of concave mirrors to concentrate solar energy and produce 582 MW of power.
Carbon Removal Projects
Coastal wetland ecosystems absorb carbon dioxide from the air and store it as carbon in soil and underwater sediment. Restoring and protecting coastal ecosystems is therefore a climate solution which works to mitigate climate change.
Afforestation, reforestation and revegetation (ARR) is a climate solution which involves the planting (or assisting the natural regeneration) of trees and shrubs to restore natural forest carbon sinks. It is a well-practised method of carbon dioxide removal.
