Putting regenerative design principles at the heart of development. Five years ago, we started a collaborative programme of research into the relationship between procurement and sustainability outcomes. Our latest piece to support this thinking can be read today - the Regenerative Twin. Investigating what would happen if we re-thought procurement and design processes, putting regenerative principles before capital expenditure? The results: ✳️ 84% reduction in whole life carbon  ✳️ 66% reduction in upfront embodied carbon  ✳️ 45% reduction in annual energy consumption  ✳️ Whole life cost was 95% of the original scheme (capex uplift repaid in 11 years) ✳️ Timber products could be responsibly sourced from existing Welsh forests ✳️ Correlation between the use of renewable materials and socio-economic benefits  ✳️ 90% reduction in water consumption from the manufacturer of the materials used in the design This research has been a collaboration between Morgan Sindall Construction, Woodknowledge Wales, HLM Architects, Cundall, The Connectives, AtkinsRéalis, ConstruktCLT ltd, Saint-Gobain Read about the research process and outcomes in full - https://lnkd.in/eHTfSzNX

From invisible to visible. The Just Transition concept is gaining traction from regional and national government. But for it to be implemented successfully it needs to be approached as a collective. Our work will see us working with many of our existing stakeholders, those living and working in our communities, local and regional government and policy-makers, local businesses from our own supply chain and social enterprises or charitable organisations that support local economic resilience or wellbeing to establish the collective resources we have to ensure the community can thrive in the low-carbon transition, not just survive it. Find out more about the work we'll be doing in 2025 to apply this thinking to our work: https://lnkd.in/eVCQsE6J #JustTransition #ResponsibleBusiness
