Sustainability
Holmes Miller recognise the distinct role we play in shaping the built environment and therefore the responsibility we have in responding to the climate emergency.
Considering the construction and operation of buildings account for almost 40% of all carbon emissions in the UK, coupled with the length of time it takes to procure and complete projects, in order to meet the UK government’s commitment to achieving net zero by 2050, we require to act now.
In 2020 Holmes Miller responded by producing our first sustainability charter, laying out the philosophy, principles and working practices that would guide us going forward. Committing to the continual review of the charter, our 2023 update recognises the current climate situation by aiming to go further and faster, creating tangible targets with foreseeable deadlines in the form of our new road map.
Our commitment to sustainability will continue with further annual reviews of the charter, recognising the latest standards, developments and global climate in order to continue to deliver on a zero carbon, sustainable future.
