Designing a better, brighter world

Sustainability

Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. We are committed to building a better tomorrow through sustainable architecture. Our designs prioritise eco-friendly practices, energy efficiency, and reduce environmental footprint. We embrace innovative technologies and materials that promote long-term sustainability – which means your projects benefit today, and future generations are left with a real legacy.

Carbon neutrality in action

Our commitment extends beyond our designs to our own practices, driving positive change. We’ve been carbon neutral since 2017, actively reducing our carbon footprint year after year. We’re affiliated with the UN Race to Zero framework, and our pledge is to achieve net zero by 2040 – ten years ahead of the commitment.

Sustainability credentials

See how we’re leading the way in responsible architecture.

We delivered the UK’s first commercial operationally carbon negative PassivHaus building.

We are signed up to the SME Climate Hub, affiliated with the UN Race to Zero framework. This requires us to halve again our absolute carbon emissions by 2030 and achieve Net Zero Carbon by 2050, as well as to disclose progress each year. We have pledged to better this and achieve net zero by 2040.

We are keen to ensure transparency about our carbon measurement; please contact us for more information.


The RIBA has developed the 2030 Climate Challenge to support architects to design within a climate conscious trajectory. The 2030 Climate Challenge provides a stepped approach towards reaching net zero, with a clear set of benchmarks for the reduction of operational energy, embodied carbon and potable water, alongside improved health and wellbeing metrics. Here at CPMG, we are committed to modelling the environmental performance of our design proposals against the RIBA 2030 Climate Challenge Criteria, and reporting on our progress to our clients to inform decisions on design and specification.

CPMG's carbon footprint

We are committed to reducing the environmental impact of our own activities, and we carry out detailed monitoring of our carbon emissions. We have halved our carbon footprint since 2017. Learn more about this using the link below...
