Commit to occupying only net zero operational carbon assets in the UK by the year 2030, and to compensate for any remaining emissions via certified offset schemes.
Foster + Partners will continue to measure and publicly disclose UK Scope 1 and 2 emissions through SECR and disclose all offsets used for residual emissions. Additionally, every year Foster + Partners will publish a CSER (Corporate, Social and Environmental Responsibility) report that provides detailed information on their sustainability efforts.
Foster + Partners is creating a decarbonisation roadmap for the UN Race to Zero campaign, setting Science Based Targets for 2030 and 2050 by March 2026. Foster + Partners are enhancing energy efficiency of their London campus and offsetting Scope 1 emissions with high quality carbon credits. Nearly all (98%) of their electricity is REGO-backed.
Foster + Partner’s Scope 1 and 2 emissions disclosures are verified by an independent third party, and they provide verified data to demonstrate the impact of advocacy actions.
As tenants, Foster + Partners advocate for net zero buildings by improving energy efficiency and reducing emissions with each office refurbishment. Foster + Partners will continue to demonstrate leadership and promote the importance of sustainability, net zero, and whole life carbon also through their project work and global industry presence.
