Why Mott MacDonald is supporting Carbon Neutral Adelaide
Mott MacDonald are a global US$2 billion engineering, management and development consultancy. They are involved in solving some of the world’s most urgent social, environmental and economic challenges, helping governments and businesses plan, deliver and sustain their strategic goals, responding to humanitarian and natural emergencies and improving people’s lives.
They care about making projects the best they can be, believing that business needs can be met without compromising the environments and communities in which they’re set. They want to hand on a world that is liveable for tomorrow’s generation and the generations that come after that.
Their Australasian head office is in Adelaide because it is a superb place to live and do business - and they want to keep it that way. They are excited to be a founding partner of Carbon Neutral Adelaide, an initiative they believe to be critical to the future prosperity of our state.
What Mott MacDonald is doing to reduce carbon emissions
Mott MacDonald are committed to initiate, support and share in our city’s successes as we lead the transformation to a Carbon Neutral Adelaide and a low carbon economy. They will achieve this by cutting their operational emissions, as well as by delivering sustainable developments for clients that contribute the city’s carbon neutral commitment.
They believe it is their responsibility to reduce their emissions and resource use. Their Group commitment to reduce operational emissions by 5% per capita year on year increases their efficiency which in turn reduces costs, saving money for customers. This is important to many of their customers who are now counting their suppliers’ carbon footprints when auditing their own.
To achieve their targeted carbon reduction, they will:
- Achieve consistent and verifiable carbon data management
- Assess their global carbon footprint, with resolution down to office level
- Provide transparent information about their carbon footprint
- Introduce energy assessments and measures to reduce energy demand in the buildings they move into
- Improve IT infrastructure, including collaborative communication, and reduce the need for travel
- Provide easily accessible and regular updates on their carbon performance and pragmatic measures to improve it
- Introduce carbon assessments and reduction targets among criteria for the selection of potential suppliers.
To transform Adelaide to the world’s first carbon neutral city, they believe that the role of consultants and carbon management experts will become increasingly important. As a leading engineering, management and development consultancy, they pride themselves in delivering significant carbon and cost savings through better design, delivery and operations of the built environment and infrastructure projects they work on in Adelaide. Together with their clients, they can make a lasting change in our city and contribute to the Carbon Neutral Adelaide commitment.
