Promoting people and planet friendly places is at the core of Tibbalds.

Our business plan includes an objective to be a Carbon Net Zero business by 2030 and to focus on mechanisms for ensuring our project work targets a robust reduction in carbon wherever we are able to influence it as masterplanners and planners.

Reducing emissions from our business operations

Recognising that rapid transformation is required, Tibbalds have committed to reducing our Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions from our business operations as soon as reasonably practicable and we are targeting a 100% reduction by 2030, including neutralising any residual emissions through recognised carbon offsetting schemes.

To help achieve this we have put in place a Carbon Reduction Plan, which can be read in full here.

Promoting wider sustainability through our project work

Leading by example and committing to reduce Tibbalds carbon emissions from our business operations is an important first step. However, we also recognise that Tibbalds has a wider role in addressing the climate emergency and promoting sustainable places through our urban design and planning project work.

We are developing a Sustainability Framework and will use this to focus on mechanisms for ensuring our project work targets a robust reduction in carbon wherever we are able to influence it as masterplanners and planners. This will help Tibbalds in supporting best practice projects, identifying improvements for projects that could do more, and by declining projects that are not sufficiently considering their commitment to addressing climate change.
