Construction, buildings & transport

Sustainability experts for the construction, buildings and transport sectors

Building a better future

Making, managing and mitigating environmental impact throughout the lifecycle of the built environment is the next big milestone for global economies. Huge steps have been made to green our power generation network over the past 30 years, but improving the way we design, construct and maintain our buildings and transport networks is the next frontier if we are to reach global net zero as our population expands and develops.

After power generation, 27% of the UK’s national footprint is associated with transport. As consumers abandon the high street and turn to online retail, sustainable transport solutions are becoming an imperative for many businesses with significant third-party logistics, particularly in view of fast fulfilment requirements and the visible demands of the ‘final mile’. In parallel, end consumers are becoming more concerned with the personal sustainability challenge – rapidly turning to hybrids, electrification and more innovative solutions such as short-term car hire and ride sharing, incentivised further by tax incentives and legislation.

Speak to a sustainability expert

Alongside, investor demands and consumer pressures mean the construction industry must address increasingly complex sustainability challenges, from the embedded carbon in raw construction materials, through to the emissions associated with properties in use. These businesses are also wrangling with the complicated issue of ownership and allocation of those emissions throughout the lifecycle of buildings. The question of who is responsible for building emissions is hard – is it the architects and designers, the construction company, the ultimate building owners, building managers or occupiers? Leading construction and property management companies are taking the sustainability challenge seriously and know that greenwash just won’t work.

sustainability for businesses

Sustainability is now mission critical for businesses

Stay ahead of the curve

To successfully compete and withstand pressure from internal and external stakeholders on sustainability issues, these businesses must take on the sustainability challenge on behalf of end consumers. They must demonstrate their understanding of the sustainability challenge in their direct operations, but importantly in their upstream and downstream value chains too. Success in mitigating climate change will mean challenging existing business models and modes of operation, to help lead the way out of the current global crisis.

Sustainability Issues

Sustainability targets and net zero roadmaps

Becoming Net Zero is the new norm; and getting there requires business to set ambitious, wide reaching target that wraps around your value chain. Aligning to a 1.5oc decarbonisation pathway, and achieving SBTi validation is an imperative for many businesses with high emissions; speak to our team to understand what setting an SBT means for your business.

Disclosure and reporting

Many businesses are already undertaking considerable action on climate change, but struggle to convey this clearly and convincingly to investors and wider stakeholders. Speak to our team to understand how we can help you respond to CDP, formulate a great sustainability report, and ensure you adhere to wider reporting frameworks and legislative requirements such as SECR, SASB, GRI, UNGC etc.

Measuring your environmental impact

With scope 1 and 2 reporting well monitored and understood for most construction, transportation and logistics organisations, the big challenge for your business may be to get full scope 3 value chain emissions quantified, and to start taking action. There are lots of pitfalls along the way: understanding the right scope 3 boundary, engaging key suppliers, using economic information as a proxy, finding the right conversion factors. This isn’t to mention the exercise of actually improving performance. Our team have solutions for all of these issues; and take a practical approach every step of the way.

Lifecycle analysis

With value chain emissions mapped, and areas of clear focus established, leading business may focus on improving the environmental performance of specific products. Use our LCA experts to quantify the lifecycle impacts of your products; and make recommendation on where in the value chain commercially viable changes can be made to improve environmental performance.
