ESG

Environment

As an architectural practice, we have the opportunity to influence the building environment towards achieving Net zero 2050 and the European Green Deal.

From this unique position, we have two main directions to achieve this ambitious goal – aligning our own company operations with all ESG standards and guiding our clients to more sustainable practice in design and construction.

In recent years we have actively worked toward making our own operation as environmentally friendly as possible, implementing waste management systems, introducing energy-saving policies, encouraging all employees to stop using cars and replace them with walking/biking/public transport. We have calculated our C02 footprint, made the effort to cut it as much as we can and we’ve supported several causes to offset the rest of our emissions. In terms of our work, we always strive to deliver environmentally beneficial projects to our clients, taking into consideration their requirements and budget.

We deeply believe that we should go beyond net zero and aim to design carbon-negative buildings to achieve a real and impactful change in the building environment.
