RWDI's Corporate Plan for a Sustainable Future
RWDI’s goal is to become the global leader in climate and performance engineering. We reimagine and expand the boundaries of the possible by finding innovative solutions to the complex challenges of the built environment.
Utilizing our deep technical expertise, we support our clients’ ambitious sustainability goals while ensuring that the handprint of our work far exceeds the footprint of our organization.
At RWDI, we have long been committed to helping our clients tackle complex challenges by combining innovative thinking, collaborative problem solving, and a passion for expanding the boundaries of the possible. There is currently no greater or more complex challenge facing us than climate change, particularly at the intersection between the natural and built environments.
Our 2024 Corporate Environmental Sustainability Plan builds on our past promises, experience, expertise, success and lessons learned. It outlines the specific and critical actions we will undertake over the upcoming year to expand our sustainability efforts, achieve our corporate sustainability priorities, and highlight the harmony between the built and natural environment.
Reducing our Carbon Footprint
RWDI has valued sustainability throughout our decades-long company history. Now, as we continue to reduce the environmental impact of our operations with renewed vigor, we have identified places to protect the environment, reduce our carbon footprint, and prevent waste and other forms of pollution – and have sought to redefine the possible in each of these opportunities.
Creating a more sustainable built environment
We continually strive to reduce our environmental footprint through achieving our sustainability goals. However, we also go beyond and leverage our technical expertise and employee efforts to lead a positive impact on the environment – our environmental handprint – by engaging in our local communities and assisting clients in achieving their own sustainability goals.
Climate and Performance Engineering
Leveraging our deep expertise across a multitude of climate and performance disciplines, we collaborate with and support our clients in the creation of resilient structures and operations within their unique location, terrain, and climate.
WE CREATE HARMONY BETWEEN THE BUILT AND NATURAL ENVIRONMENT
We leverage the intersection of the built and natural environments to help create truly resilient structures that connect with nature rather than compete with it.
WE ENGINEER SOLUTIONS FOR A CHANGING CLIMATE
The rapidly changing climate is presenting complex challenges for the built environment – ones we are prepared to help solve through the creation of projects futureproofed against the climate.
Future Focused
With a focus on energy, water, emissions, and waste, our FY24 Corporate Environmental Sustainability Plan outlines the next step in our environmental commitments, as we set concrete and aspirational sustainability goals for our firm.
As an organization, we will continue to drive for increasingly ambitious environmental goals, and celebrate the successes of our firm, colleagues, and clients as we work together to achieve a more sustainable future.
