At Derwent London, we are proud to support our local communities and, as part of our 50 Baker Street W1 planning application, we pledged to install PV panels at St Mary’s Bryanston Square School. With the application now approved, we were thrilled to deliver on this promise, reducing the school’s carbon footprint and inspiring the next generation about renewable energy.

We are proud that 46 of our team members have been with us for over a decade, contributing their expertise and passion to shaping the future of London’s built environment. In the 40th edition of Space magazine, we asked some of them to share their favourite buildings and career highlights – stories that highlight the creativity, ambition, and collaboration at the heart of what we do.

"At Derwent, doing more with less has always been in our DNA and design-approach. We’ve been driving meaningful sustainability for many years with stringent carbon targets across our projects. The embodied carbon of sub & super-structure however is the next major challenge, so through our initiative, Accelerating Concrete-Decarbonisation Group (AC-DG), we’ve been working closely with other developers, engineers, construction contractors and materials producers to bridge the gap between supply of low to zero carbon concrete, specification needs and market demand. #BuildAheadUK offers us an important platform to build on this vital work, while addressing many of the other challenges to creating true net zero buildings. Even in a tough market for developers, we can’t afford to take our eye off carbon and #sustainableconstruction in this decisive decade. We look forward to working closely with Xynteo and partners through the Build Ahead UK coalition to increase the supply of fit-for-purpose low carbon materials. Through this ecosystem collaboration, we see great potential to pilot new technologies and feedback our findings to the wider market and policy-makers." - Benjamin Lesser, Head of Design and Innovation, Derwent London. #derwentlondon2030 #climateaction #netzero
This week marked a significant milestone in sustainable construction as industry leaders gathered for the launch of Build Ahead UK. This coalition brings together pioneers across the built environment value chain to accelerate the transition to truly net-zero, nature-positive buildings. In a packed room at the White Chapel Building in London, we witnessed competitors become collaborators, challenges become opportunities, and the collective creation of a shared future vision. Attendees rolled up their sleeves and worked together to address problem statements on increasing circularity in construction and development, increasing the flow and uptake of capital for ambitious sustainability, and enabling the implementation of end-to-end sustainable buildings. Our founding members are united by a shared ambition: to demonstrate that end-to-end zero-carbon buildings can be made a reality, today, through collective action. Build Ahead UK’s value collaboration model brings together industry actors aiming to enable the market and create a construction and design blueprint that works for both people and planet. We see this as a movement to be reinspired about our built environment and reimagine what’s possible. To our founding partners - thank you for choosing to lead rather than follow. Together, we're turning systemic challenges into opportunities for Good Growth Know more about about Build Ahead UK > https://lnkd.in/gDu6w5VV Read our press release > https://lnkd.in/gUFficgU PLP Architecture Santander UK Derwent London Emrah Durusut Shaiyra Devi #Sustainability #NetZero #Construction #ClimateAction #Innovation #Collaboration #BuildAheadUK #WholeLifeCarbon #SustainableConstruction #NetZero #GoodGrowth
