OPERATIONS

After projects, our own business operations represent the next largest environmental impact. Our Global Impact strategy includes a governance model through our Global Impact Group, including its studio leaders and advocates, that is tasked with implementing our strategy in each studio. Like most organizations, we have seen significant disruption in our physical and social business models owing to the pandemic, which has resulted in unanticipated reductions in business travel and procurement (such as printing) that has resulted in carbon emissions reductions. Our operations also include the support and benefits we share as employees, including our commitments to equality, diversity and inclusion and career development. While the extent of our operational approach to Global Impact is described in more detail in Section 4 of the Playbook, we have committed to achieving the following specific goals for our operations:

01 02 05

Zero operational carbon company by 2023

Annual sustainability reporting through the Climate Playbook
