Sustainability at SYSTRA 

At SYSTRA, sustainability is about getting the balance right in addressing the complex needs of our clients and communities, in a way that can be positive for our planet as well as our people. 

In every project and solution we deliver, we aim to create economic and social wellbeing, and to deliver a net gain for the natural world. We provide a supportive environment for our people to thrive, learn and contribute to our sustainability mission and the social issues that matter to them. We only work for and with organisations that share our sustainable aspirations. 

Our Sustainability Mission

Our Sustainability Mission sets out how we are creating a better future for all.

We’ve identified three strategic pillars to help us achieve our ambitions:

Within these pillars we have commitments and targets that will address our core priorities of: 

  • Protecting our climate
  • Creating social value
  • Fostering collaboration
  • Valuing our people 
  • Supporting wellness 
  • Embracing technology
