Sustainability and circular economy
New methods to conserve water. Innovative ways to deliver renewable energy. We deliver the real-world advice and solutions you need to protect and enhance the environment.
Our sustainability and circular economy practitioners deliver targeted, relevant strategies to help you drive innovation, build resilience, reduce risk and grow your business sustainably.
The Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, California, USA is now 100 percent powered by solar energy. 700 watts are generated from the roof and the rest at an off-site solar farm 20 miles away.
With a flexible, pragmatic approach, we bring industry-leading expertise to every project - regardless of size, value or complexity.
Built on a foundation of strategic thinking, we establish and integrate policies–and implement solutions– that create social value and safeguard our shared environment.
Creating a more sustainable future
From building your business case to measuring the impact of your investment, our trusted sustainability practitioners make the next steps clear, incorporating adaptable strategies that support a circular economy.
Designing strategies for operations and infrastructure
Applying the circular economy approach to our framework necessitates greater collaboration. By working holistically, we evaluate potential impacts and outcomes to build a business case for sustainable investment - and secure buy-in at the board and operational levels.
