Last week, our global director of sustainability David Symons spoke at the ACE New Zealand's #futurespace2024 event, where he presented 'Engineers at the heart of solving future challenges.’ Didn't make it to the event? Here are the key takeaways: 🌱 Purposeful Planning for Growth: Engineers play a vital role in shaping climate-resilient cities by integrating form and function. Projects like stormwater management can enhance public spaces, increase biodiversity, and bolster resilience. 📐Future-Ready Designs: With evolving challenges, projects must consider long-term impacts as codes may lag behind climate and societal shifts. Engineers are encouraged to embed forward-thinking insights into every project, from creating safer road networks to advancing clean technologies. 🌍Leadership in Operations: A diverse and equitable workplace strengthens our ability to tackle complex client challenges. Initiatives like office retrofits and our Pledge to Net Zero commitment demonstrate our dedication to sustainability. 💡Industry influence: By guiding Net Zero standards for service providers, we lead the industry in accountability and ensuring designs respect climate and nature.
