Building Your Sustainable Organization

What is Sustainability?

The shift to a sustainable economy will bring three major challenges to infrastructure. Firstly, the existing impact must be minimised. Infrastructure construction and operations contribute 70% of global greenhouse gas emissions, so we must bring this down. Secondly, the scale of investment in the new infrastructure required to achieve net zero is unprecedented. Organisations must quickly scale up to deliver at pace while ensuring capital is invested in the right areas. Finally, we must adapt our infrastructure for a more hostile climate, building long-term resilience and flexibility.

Asset management is a tried-and-tested framework for helping organisations achieve their goals, improve their decisions, and break down siloes to ensure every part of an organisation is pulling in the same direction. At AMCL, we believe that sustainability is the goal and asset management is the tool to get us there.

AMCL’s services are designed with sustainability in mind. We look across the whole life of assets, ensuring today’s decisions are aligned with the long-term goals of the organisation. We enable businesses to balance multiple goals, such as increasing asset value while delivering eco-friendly solutions. We focus on the whole organisation, integrating sustainability across all business activities, rather than creating new sustainability siloes. This is the best way to achieve lasting progress.
