At Davis Langdon we are serious about reducing the impact of our business on the environment. Sustainable development is of vital and permanent interest to us, delivering successful solutions that respect the environment' is enshrined in the core ideology of our business model.

Externally, we play a significant role as a leading advisor to major clients. We know that clients want their buildings to use less energy and emit less greenhouse gases, use less water and generate less waste in construction and operation. Clients therefore look to us to take a lead on sustainability and to help them achieve their goals.

Internally, our ultimate goal is to become a carbon-neutral business. We are implementing measures that include: reducing energy use in our offices by better control of out-of-hours lighting and heating, reducing paper use, purchasing recycled content materials where possible and recycling office consumables, limiting ozone emissions by disposing of non-essential refrigeration and air conditioning units.

All Davis Langdon offices are committed to energy efficiency and our Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane offices are proud to be CitySwitch signatories.
