Securing the future of our planet is arguably the greatest challenge we all face. That is why it is represented by multiple of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals, including climate action.

These global challenges also play out on at a regional and local level, and we’re based in a region whose innovation and entrepreneurial zeal was a driving force of the first Industrial Revolution.

Now, we’re helping to develop innovative thinking for the Green Revolution, considering how we can address the climate emergency from many different angles, including looking back to World War II for solutions to modern challenges such as recycling.

Our impact extends from the local to the global. At a global level, we’re helping to shape international development responses to support communities most impacted by the effects of global warming.

Closer to home, we’re helping local councils to promote behaviours among local residents to create sustainable cities and communities, by learning those wartime lessons from the past.

We’re designing and engineering the sustainable buildings of the future in the name of creating affordable and clean energy, developing new retrofit methods to help people lower their bills and keep warm in winter, while also supporting the UK government’s net zero ambitions.

And we’re helping businesses to stay competitive by becoming more energy efficient as well as demonstrating responsible consumption and production.

By involving as many different voices as possible and looking at the problem from diverse perspectives, we’re working to secure a greener future for all communities.
