To achieve holistic sustainability, The UN SDGs are an important place to start to understand how a business can have influence in achieving these global goals.
P+W aligns with 11 out of the 17 UN SDGs. These 11 SDGs that we align with at Pascall+Watson, were distilled to create our 6 pillars of sustainable design.
Our pillars guide our design teams in proactively reducing both
embodied and operational carbon during the design process.
Energy: Exploring renewable energy and how a building can be
efficiently designed to reduce its energy consumption.
Resources: Considering recycled content materials, buildings as
materials banks and the embodied carbon – which I’ll expand on
the next slide
Environment: Use a project to better the environment.
Social: Better the lives of all involved with the project from onsite
through to end user and neighbouring communities.
Transport: Reducing the need for journeys using personal cars.

Waste: Reducing waste from manufacturing stages through to
construction and how is any waste created managed
