At BDC we have a commitment to Net-Zero Carbon and our designs seek to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in every project that we work on to help meet the UK government 2035 Net-Zero target.
Responsible business conduct and sustainable practices have been part of BDC since the company’s inception. Today these principles are an integral part of Our Mission and services and are formalized through our systematic work which is aligned with the UK sustainable development goals. We are dedicated to taking a leading role in sharing best practices and creating value for clients by delivering design solutions that are environmentally, economically, and socially sustainable.
