With the built environment accounting for 39% of global carbon emissions we recognise our collective responsibility to create places which significantly reduce the impact on the world. Through our thoughtful design culture, we have reinforced our passionate belief in making every project as sustainable as possible. We support our clients to make informed choices which will impact positively on our climate, support the health and wellbeing of our communities and protect the biodiversity of our natural systems.

Our focus is on taking our practice and our clients on a journey to deliver better. Together, we can deliver net zero carbon.

We have developed strategies and design principles for each of these themes aligned to the RIBA Plan of Work ensuring that they are embedded in our thinking from the inception of a project. We employ a suite of tools to measure the metrics associated with these themes as our design progresses and test the outcomes through our post occupancy evaluation process.

Our work to date showcases an increasing number of clients who want to deliver the highest performing buildings for their employees, students and customers, these early adopters will help us to demonstrate the benefits of raising the bar. At HLM, we’re looking forward to a more sustainable future.

Our aim is simple, to deliver the highest performing buildings which have a positive impact on the lives of those who use them and a positive impact on the world for future generations.
