Purcell Miller TrittonSustainability objectives
• The goal of sustainable development is to“meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future
generations to meet their own needs” World Commission on Environment & Development
• There are many, often contradictory, aspects to this challenge international business and travel being one example
• The carbon reduction targets being set by governments are long term targets because the
ability to meet these in the short term is not available
• Our carbon governance targets as a business also need to be long term and incorporate our aspirations for growth in the business
• It is how we meet and minimise these contradictions that will define our success in being a sustainable business
• One way of doing this is to ensure that we continually improve and increase the level of sustainability of our architecture
