Sustainability by design
Delivering sustainable solutions
As an international group of multi-disciplinary engineers and environmental consultants, Grontmij is committed to the concept of sustainability as a means of protecting and caring for the environment.
Whereas our direct environmental footprint is modest, our indirect impact on the environment through our project work is many times larger in terms of the energy and materials that we incorporate in our designs. In order to minimise this indirect footprint we have adopted the principle of 'sustainability by design'. This in-house approach, ensures that in each job we undertake our clients can be rely on our skills and process to deliver the most sustainable outcome for their needs.
ISO9001 and ISO14001 assured
This philosophy is reflected throughout our design services, which are assured to both ISO 9001 and 14001. In all cases we take the care necessary to minimise the impact on the environment not only in how we perform our services but also in what we deliver to our clients. This is achieved through:
• Active project management systems that make sure we consider and deliver designs and outputs that enhance sustainable practice.
• Design skills to remove embedded energy.
• Process skills to make systems work more efficiently.
• Management skills to plan and enable programmes to deliver a more sustainable future.
• Providing options for reducing energy consumption and generating renewable energy.
