Hames Sharley is committed to embedding Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles across all facets of our operations. We actively seek to reduce our environmental impact, cultivate an inclusive, safe, and respectful workplace, and uphold the highest standards of integrity, transparency, and accountability in our governance.
Sustainability and social responsibility are central to our purpose. Through our ESG commitments, we aim to deliver long-term value for our stakeholders while making a meaningful contribution to the communities and environments in which we operate.
To further reinforce this commitment, Hames Sharley has been officially accepted as a participant in the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), aligning our strategy and operations with ten universal principles on human rights, labour, environment, and anti-corruption, and supporting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These principles guide our innovation, strengthen our resilience, and support our pursuit of sustainable growth in a rapidly changing world.
Our ESG approach is integrated into our broader business strategy and design philosophy – shaping the way we work, the environments we create, and the partnerships we build. As a design-led practice, we are committed to influencing the built environment in ways that promote sustainability, social equity, and long-term community wellbeing.
We recognise our responsibility to contribute to climate action and environmental stewardship through both our internal practices and project outcomes. We are actively working to minimise our carbon footprint, with a long-term goal of achieving net zero emissions across our operations.
We are committed to transparency and accountability, measuring our ESG performance and reporting progress in alignment with globally recognised frameworks such as the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD).
We also recognise that meaningful change requires collaboration. We work closely with our clients, communities, consultants, and supply chain partners to drive sustainable and inclusive outcomes across every stage of the project lifecycle.
