Five years on...
Back in 2018, efforts to make the built environment better were only making it less bad. Our industry was failing the very things we needed to protect — nature, the climate and the people and communities we serve. That’s why after 25 years in business, we decided enough was enough. We were frustrated by the lack of action by our industry, government and society. But most of all, we wanted to do more ourselves. But how do we cure an industry addicted to dirty energy, steel and concrete? And how do we do this with the speed and scale required? Firstly, we had to look in the mirror. We had to change our culture by creating a clear purpose — Engineering a Better Society. We had to find a way of changing habits in everything we did, to go back to where engineering works best. Back to the interface of art and science — a space where we explore rather than justify. This space is called ETHICS. As a manifesto and industry framework, it brings clients, partners and leaders together to ask bigger and better questions about the issues impacting Society — Energy, Technology, Health, Infrastructure, Culture and Sustainability.
