This ambitious goal is a testament to our dedication to sustainability and our proactive approach to addressing the global challenge of climate change.
Progress and Achievements Since 2019
Since setting our targets and committing to the Pledge to Net Zero, BWB Consulting has made significant strides in reducing our carbon footprint. We are pleased to report the following milestones:
- 46% Reduction in Like-for-Like Emissions: Compared to our 2019 baseline, we have successfully reduced our like-for-like emissions by 46%. This achievement underscores our commitment to continuous improvement and effective carbon management strategies, focussing mainly on our facilities and movement activities.
- 30% Reduction in Total Carbon Emissions Per Head: Despite continued growth in both our business and its scope three inventory since 2019, we have achieved a remarkable 30% reduction in total carbon emissions per head. This demonstrates our ability to balance business growth and sustainable practices with growing knowledge and a commitment to transparent reporting.
Our Goals: 2025 and Beyond
Our near-term goal is to reduce our carbon emissions by 30% by 2025. This interim target is a crucial step towards our ultimate objective of net zero by 2050. We are confident that with the continued dedication of our team and the implementation of innovative solutions, we can achieve this milestone.

BWB is not just committed to reducing its own operational carbon footprint, but we are also passionate about ensuring our designs are sustainable now and for the lifetime of a structure or asset. We are well underway with delivering our Sustainable Design Strategy, helping our clients deliver their projects for a greener future.
