Sustainability & Research

Sustainability & Research

Compliance is the starting point. Sustainability is the goal. We help clients reduce their environmental footprint and build sustainable performance grounded in knowledge.

Sustainability & Research

Our approach to sustainability

Compliance is the minimum. Our sustainability work starts from a clear understanding of a client's current environmental performance and regulatory obligations, and then identifies practical steps to reduce impact further.

We focus on measures that can be implemented and measured: emissions inventories and reduction plans, better handling of waste and water, and management systems that keep improvements in place over time.

We apply the same discipline to the knowledge behind our advice, drawing on scientific evidence and reliable data, and stating clearly where data are limited.

Focus areas

Environmental Protection

Helping facilities reduce their impact on air, soil, water and biodiversity.

  • Identifying the environmental aspects of an activity and their effects
  • Building mitigation measures into permits and management plans
  • Monitoring programmes that show whether measures are working
  • Clear records of the actions taken

Climate Change & Carbon Management
