We have a responsibility to actively participate in the journey towards a net zero carbon future. Not only as engineers, designers and advisors, but also as innovators and individuals acting on climate change.

Our people are passionate about sustainability and are committed to creating a positive impact in our environment and communities. It is part of our ‘why’.

At Aurecon, we believe we play a vital role in helping the communities and economies in which we operate transition to a net zero carbon future.

Aurecon is a participant in the United Nations Global Compact. Our work on safeguarding the environment contributes to Sustainable Development Goal 13.

In line with the environmental principles of the United Nations Global Compact, we are committed to:

• Supporting a precautionary approach to environmental challenges
• Reducing the direct impact of our operations against the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals
• Encouraging the development and diffusion of environmentally friendly technologies

Net zero by 2025

Our business is one source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, so we are taking responsibility and implementing appropriate measures to reduce the impact we have on the world. We have made a commitment to become net zero carbon in our operations by 2025.

We have set our goals around the areas of our business where we can make the biggest difference. We aim to actively reduce net emissions from owned or controlled sources (Scope1), the generation of purchased energy (Scope 2), and all other indirect emissions from Aurecon activities we do not own or control, such as activities associated with business travel, procurement, waste and water, to zero by 2025.

The move to decarbonise our business and transition our services comes in anticipation of a 100 percent net zero emissions future.

We will achieve our targets through risk-based decisions, balancing investment in emissions reduction measures against offsets. Over time we anticipate the need for offsets will reduce.
