How AtkinsRéalis is supporting the UK’s net zero target


At AtkinsRéalis, we're incredibly proud to be part of the UK's journey towards achieving net-zero emissions by 2050

The transformation required is massive, touching every corner of our economy—from the way we generate energy to how industries operate and how we manage our natural resources. 

We're excited to be at the forefront of this change, bringing our engineering expertise, innovative technologies, and sustainable solutions to help turn this vision into reality. 

Together with our clients and partners, we're driving forward the renewable energy projects, carbon reduction technologies, and transformative systems that will help the UK reach its net-zero goals—and beyond. 

The future is bright, and at AtkinsRéalis, we're committed to creating it.

What is the UK's net zero target?

The UK's net-zero target is a bold, forward-thinking commitment to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. This means that by the middle of this century, the UK aims to balance the amount of greenhouse gases it emits with the amount it removes from the atmosphere, effectively halting its contribution to climate change. 

This target is more than just a number—it's a vision for a future where cleaner energy, smarter technologies, and more sustainable practices lead the way in every industry.

Why UK's net zero target matter? 

Because this target isn't just about reducing emissions; it's about creating a better, more resilient world for future generations. It's about ensuring that we leave a healthier planet for those who come after us. 

Achieving net zero will require massive change—but with that change comes incredible opportunity for growth, creativity, and progress. Part of our mission is to help lead the industry in achieving net zero as rapidly as possible.

Our innovative approach to sustainability 

We take an innovative and proactive approach to sustainability, pioneering solutions that are essential for engineering a net-zero future. We leverage cutting-edge technologies and forward-thinking engineering practices to create scalable, impactful solutions that drive decarbonization across industries. 

From designing and developing renewable energy projects—such as offshore wind farms and solar power installations—to advancing next-generation energy storage systems and carbon capture technologies, we're at the forefront of creating sustainable infrastructures. 

Our focus is not only on reducing emissions but on reshaping how we think about energy, resources, and the built environment

By combining our deep expertise with creativity and innovation, we're helping clients reduce their carbon footprints, increase resilience, and lead the way toward a more sustainable, low-carbon world. 

Careers in net-zero innovation 

As a leader in engineering and technology, we are continuously seeking passionate and forward-thinking individuals who want to make a real impact on the planet. 

Whether you're an engineer, project manager, or sustainability expert, at AtkinsRéalis you'll have the chance to work on cutting-edge projects that push the boundaries of clean energy, carbon reduction, and sustainable infrastructure. 

By joining us, you'll be part of a collaborative environment where your ideas matter and your work directly contributes to achieving net-zero targets. 

We offer a range of career opportunities across various disciplines, providing a platform for continuous learning, growth, and the chance to work alongside some of the best minds in the industry.
