Sustainability
Sustainability is central to our design philosophy at BDP. We are dedicated to creating places that are not only environmentally, socially, and economically advanced but also enhance the health and productivity of their users. Our in-house Sustainability team drives this vision, partnering with clients to set ambitious sustainability goals and tackle climate and biodiversity challenges from the outset.
We assess the full impact of each project we undertake—considering resource use, transport, and waste management—while staying ahead of evolving legislative, economic, and technological trends.
We offer a comprehensive range of services, including life-cycle assessment, circular economy, and energy consultancy. With expertise in BREEAM and LEED, we deliver transformative solutions that meet today’s environmental, social, and economic demands.

Applied Innovation
Through harnessing emerging tech, BDP continues to drive meaningful change through innovation.
Environmental action
With the built environment responsible for a third of global emissions, we know it’s time to shift our own perspective.
