What is sustainable engineering?
Sustainability in engineering involves adopting practices that prioritize the long-term health of the planet and its people.
This means taking steps to minimize waste, harnessing renewable energy sources, curbing pollution, and developing long-lasting, efficient systems that can benefit generations to come.
It’s not just engineers that play a part, you can make a meaningful impact on the world around us with apprenticeship routes such as project management, business management, digital and technology or environmental practitioner.
At AtkinsRéalis, we adopt a sustainable approach at every stage of design and engineering, applying sustainable project management, which considers the environmental, social, and economic aspects of a project.
