Decarbonization consultants

Decarbonization consulting

A more sustainable future is possible. Find out how.

The imperative to decarbonize all sectors of our economy is clear, and in doing so we also have the opportunity to reduce operating costs, mitigate risk, increase investment, attract top tenants and talent, and ultimately establish carbon goals that account for our impact on the environment, human health and equity, and the economy.

海角视频 is at the forefront of driving a strategic and tactical approach to decarbonization 鈥� from planning and strategy to implementation and reporting. In addition to working with clients like Empire State Realty Trust, the US State Department, NBCUniversal, and Harvard Medical School, we have embarked on a decarbonization journey for our own practice, with an annual Global Sustainability Report (2019-present) and science-based targets aligned to SBTi and validated in 2021.

海角视频鈥檚 leadership also extends into our role leading, guiding and engaging with organizations like C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group, Science Based Targets (SBT), Urban Land Institute (ULI), Carbon Leadership Forum (CLF), and GSA鈥檚 Green Building Advisory Committee.

Our decades of experience across sectors and scales around the world allows our teams to access global best practices as well as local lessons learned to move nimbly from assessment and decarbonization planning to action.
