Arup’s journey to net zero

It’s imperative that businesses with a public sustainability focus practice what they preach. So we’re being fully transparent about every action required for us to hit our 2030 net zero target.After a full internal review of our business processes, we determined that a 30% reduction in emissions was required for us to hit net zero.Our strategy is grounded by science-based goals for full-value chain emissions, while we compensate hard-to-decarbonise emissions with certified greenhouse gas removal.
