ESG principles are crucial in meeting the needs of our industry, empowering our communities, and improving the quality of life for future generations.
Climate change is a grave threat, requiring swift action. We recognise the role of buildings and construction in emissions and are actively helping to address the climate crisis.
We help our clients deliver eco-friendly, energy-efficient buildings that enhance occupants’ well-being and reduce their carbon footprint. Sustainability goes beyond construction, and by retrofitting existing buildings and embracing reuse, we revitalise older buildings, conserve resources and cut waste.
Rund is committed to taking actions that contribute to a greener, more sustainable future as we take proactive steps to become a carbon-neutral business. Given Rund’s continued growth, we regularly assess our energy consumption impact. We have taken measures to tackle our overall usage through technology, working practices and offsetting. This year, Rund offset 135t of carbon dioxide, supporting diverse verified carbon reduction projects which have a global impact.
We continuously work towards managing our carbon footprint through energy-efficient practices, waste reduction initiatives, and promoting sustainable behaviours among our employees and partners. We are also actively exploring ways to integrate more decarbonisation solutions into our operations and supply chain to minimise our environmental impact further. Since 2018, we have continuously reduced our gas, electricity and water consumption as shown below. We continue to introduce ways to reduce our consumption further.

Our efforts to give back to both our local communities and people in need continue in 2026. We’re delighted to have chosen the British Heart Foundation as our company charity, in memory of our much-missed colleague, Gemma Evans.
The BHF has helped halve the number of people dying from heart and circulatory disease in the UK, but sadly, every day, hundreds of people still lose their lives. It's only thanks to support that the BHF can help create new treatments and discover new cures. Find out more via their website.
We have a great team culture, promote wellbeing, and help people shape their careers and achieve their best. As a Top 150 Consultant, we nurture potential, provide excellent training, build careers, and have fun too through our away days and social get-togethers.
