As a global firm, we design hundreds of millions of square feet of work over six continents each year– making our impact critical to sustainability and resiliency. This year is also significant for CRTKL as we implement our firmwide commitment to design all buildings for zero-carbon operations by 2030 and carbon-neutral, including embodied carbon, by 2050. To drive the necessary changes needed for our planet’s survival, CRTKL is also focusing on holistic resiliency beyond environmental and including socio-economic.
CRTKL achieved climate neutrality in our own business operations, but we are continually exploring creative mitigation strategies as we strive to be a good steward for the planet, our staff and the communities we serve.
In celebration of Earth Day 2021, our Performance-Driven Design (PDD) team presents its annual sustainability report: Shaping a Better World. Please read on to learn about the sustainably led work this team has done around the world.
