Our purpose
Our corporate purpose is to deliver a positive and enduring impact on the world.
Our approach
Our vision is to deliver projects that by their nature define what it means to be sustainable – in terms of economic, social and environmental outcomes. We don’t have a separate sustainability ‘unit’, nor ask our clients whether they want sustainability services as the optional extra service.
And we recognise that while improving the efficiency of resource use and mitigating environmental impacts are important aspects of becoming more sustainable, we know that what society really requires is a fundamental step change in the nature and effectiveness of development.
For these reasons our approach to sustainability is different. We are working to embed sustainability into our approach to each and every project, to the choices of projects to work on, and the clients we work with.
We’re also translating sustainability thinking into all aspects of our business operations. To us, it simply makes good sense.
Our commitment
Sustainability is now central to everything we do. And we believe the greatest impact we can make is in the delivery of sustainability principles through major projects around the world.
We work on a diverse range of projects across a variety of industries, yet in all of these projects we aim for outcomes that consider the economic, social and environmental impacts of both our work and our corporate footprint. And we are prepared to 'walk the talk', alongside our clients and our people.
Regarding our own footprint, we now have a plan to cut SKM's carbon emissions by 30 per cent per capita over the next three years. This is an ambitious plan, and one that will not only challenge our daily practices but encourage us to continue to think innovatively about our own future. More…
