SYSTRA has a global commitment to sustainable development, helping clients meet net-zero targets, reduce climate change risks, conserve natural resources and deliver nature positive construction and infrastructure projects in harmony with the environment. Protecting communities from the impacts of climate change.

Creating infrastructure for a sustainable future

Sustainability and environmental protection are among the top priorities for any new transport, infrastructure or development project. Planners and developers need to ensure new infrastructure is not only resilient to the effects of climate change, but also maximises positive impacts on the environment, biodiversity and natural ecosystems.

New developments need to balance the demands of multiple stakeholders, alongside the need to comply with environmental legislation and find solutions that minimise carbon emissions, noise and disturbance, land or air pollution, and ecological harm. Legislation impacting new developments includes the Water Framework Directive and Biodiversity Net Gain requirements of the Environment Act.

SYSTRA Environmental Services Team has the passion and the expertise to help clients tackle the greatest challenges facing society and our planet. Our integrated environmental services help to address sustainability, biodiversity, water quality, flood resilience and climate change issues for all projects, regardless of scale.

“Our vision is to provide the technical expertise required to balance complex infrastructure design requirements with the need to decarbonise the economy, conserve biodiversity and protect natural environments.”
