SOCIAL VALUE AND SUSTAINABILITY ADVISORY
With sustainability a central driver on global infrastructure and development projects, Wentworth provides industry-leading expertise to support net-zero, circular economy, and social value strategies.
Industry-leading sustainability expertise
Industry-leading sustainability expertiseNet-zero and carbon reduction strategies
Every project has opportunities to reduce embodied and operational carbon that standard approaches to sustainability can overlook. Wentworth identifies where material substitution will deliver real carbon savings without compromising structural performance. Or where design decisions lock in unnecessary carbon. We advise on material efficiency, low-carbon alternatives, and construction methods that reduce carbon without introducing risk elsewhere in the project.
At 2 Aldermanbury Square, Wentworth supported a refurbishment-led approach that prioritised reuse of the existing structure to reduce embodied carbon while maintaining performance and buildability. Reusing 1,800 tonnes of structural steel saved over 300,000 kgCO2e.
Our approach considers how material choices, sequencing, and temporary works influence carbon outcomes on site. This ensures carbon reduction measures remain achievable during construction and compatible with programme, quality, and operational requirements.
Quantifying social value and ESG performance
Early involvement ensures sustainability and social value are part of a project from the start, helping you meet your ESG commitments. We assess the impact of a project on the local community to maximise benefits, support workforce planning, and boost local engagement.
By integrating sustainability thinking from the outset, we help prevent late-stage redesign, reduce compliance risk, and ensure commitments translate into measurable and actionable outcomes.
