Sustainability

AWW is committed to making a positive impact. Our goal is to create beautiful places that enhance people’s lives and give back to the environment.

AWW leads design teams to deliver complex decarbonisation and net zero projects, guiding our clients towards achieving their environmental, social and governance objectives. Following our key principles to prioritise retrofit and lead with passive design, we map net zero carbon aspirations to individual project values, budgets and phasing programmes to enable positive social and environmental outcomes.

Our in-house sustainability hub provides internal consultancy support to teams throughout the project lifecycle, offering Passivhaus expertise, whole-life carbon assessments and post-occupancy analysis.

We have significant experience in the creative re-use of existing buildings across our architectural and interior design studios, and this is central to our objective in creating a positive environmental impact.

AWW lead by example. We are a Social Value Quality Mark® Level 1 business, which is recognition of our outstanding commitment to create, report and embed social value. We are also net-zero carbon across our Scope 1 and 2 emissions. We work with like-minded partners who share our commitment to creating a positive social and environmental impact.

AWW is a member of the United Nations Race to Zero campaign and a signatory of Architects Declare and the RIBA 2030 Climate Challenge.
