Reducing Carbon Emissions for a Sustainable Future
We don’t pay lip service to sustainability. We know we can’t afford to – no individual or business can. This is why we work so hard to not only make positive changes ourselves, but also to lead and collaborate with others to maximise our impact. By measuring both our project and business emissions to accurately assess our carbon impact and through meticulous analysis and reporting, we have set realistic and achievable targets for reduction.
Our commitment is to decrease the average embodied carbon in our projects from 340kgCO2e/m2 to 295kgCO2e/m2 by 2030.
By actively working towards these goals, we strive to make a positive impact on the environment and create a more sustainable future for all.
What Our Clients Say
“Curtins developed a design solution which minimised disruption to the building’s occupied spaces above by limiting the temporary propping to the basement and ground floors, avoiding the need for decant from the upper levels as well as resolving program risks to the construction stage. Curtins remained professional in their approach throughout and were equal to the difficult challenges posed by this project.”
