THE PLAYBOOK

People Architecture

Our Global Impact is how we come together as a Global Studio to address the most pressing issues of our day, from planning for climate change to reducing carbon footprints to delivering safe, humane, and equitable spaces for people. Our CREDO of People Architecture speaks both to the people in Woods Bagot who are contributing to our ambitious sustainability plans, as well as the people who experience the buildings, places, and cities we design and see built.

In our first Climate Playbook, we capture the breadth of activities happening across the Global Studio to move sustainability forward.

We have invested this year in re-energizing our Global Impact strategy, with new leadership at every level of the organization and commitments to track and improve the performance of our projects using our own Global Impact Assessment tool within our DI Portal. We also took an important step forward in Australia and the UK by achieving ISO 14001 certification of our environmental management systems. In addition, we have committed to offsetting the operational carbon emissions associated with our studios and business travel, which can be found in the Playbook.

We are delighted to share our progress with our colleagues, but also with our clients and wider community as we seek to take climate action through architecture.
