Dedicated to sustainable development, Arup is a collective of 16,000 designers, advisors and experts working across 140 countries. Founded to be both humane and excellent, we collaborate with our clients and partners using imagination, technology and rigour to shape a better world.
Our sustainability goals for 2022:
- In 2017, Arup made a formal commitment to align our business with the 17 SDGs – creating shared value for our clients and our communities while safeguarding our planet.
- In 2020, we committed to achieving net zero emissions across our entire operations by 2030, reducing our scope 1, 2 and 3 greenhouse gas emissions by 30% within the next five years and set out a plan of how this would be achieved – via our Net Zero Carbon Strategy.
- At the COP26 in 2021, we made two huge commitments as a firm, moving beyond addressing our own carbon footprint onto the greater challenge of decarbonising the work we do with and for our clients: to carry out whole life carbon assessments on all our building projects, both old and new; and to phase out all fossil fuel energy-driven projects.
