Webinar: Sustainability in the built environment

Sustainability in the built environment: from compliance to competitive advantage

OCT 22 @9 AM PT/ 12 PM ET

The built environment is responsible for nearly 40% of global emissions—and the spotlight on this sector is only intensifying. Clients, regulators, and investors are demanding measurable proof of sustainable design, not just commitments. With California’s SB 253 and SB 261, pending SEC climate rules, and heightened investor scrutiny, firms must deliver transparent, compliant, and value-driven strategies—or risk being left behind.

This webinar will explore how to navigate the complex landscape of climate disclosure requirements, track emissions across operations and supply chains—including Scope 3 and embodied carbon—and turn sustainability into a competitive advantage.

Why attend?

The path to decarbonization is challenging, especially for firms that must balance ambitious targets with operational realities. Whether you’re focused on compliance, meeting client demands, or positioning your firm as a climate leader, this session will give you the insights needed to move forward with confidence.

Attendees will gain a clear understanding of:

What motivates firms to begin carbon accounting—and how to overcome common roadblocks.
The roles of key internal teams like accounting, HR, and facilities in emissions data collection.
Practical approaches to engaging stakeholders and improving data quality for reporting.
How to align with leading standards such as SBTi while managing ambitious client and investor expectations.
The role of high-quality carbon credits and offsets in reaching carbon neutrality by 2030 and beyond.

In this session, you’ll learn how to:

Identify drivers and obstacles behind sustainability efforts in architecture and the built environment, and apply proven solutions to your firm’s strategy.
Streamline data collection by engaging cross-functional teams and focusing on the most material emissions sources.
Prioritize meaningful emissions reductions across operations while understanding how to navigate Scope 3 challenges, including project-related embodied carbon.
Evaluate offset strategies and what makes a carbon credit truly high-quality and effective.
