Engineering specialist Cundall has pledged to make all of its projects net zero carbon in the next seven years.
The Newcastle-based firm, which delivers work across the world, said it was critical that buildings transitioned to net zero in order to combat global temperature rises. Announcing the move, Cundall described it as a "line in the sand" which had been two years in the making.
It said it engineers and designs across its 25 global offices would make zero carbon a "business as usual" approach. Managing partner Carole O'Neil described the Zero Carbon Design 2030 as an "investment in Cundall's future".
