OUR APPROACH<\/p>\n

Committing to significant decarbonization: ScopeX\u2122<\/h1>\n <\/div>\n
\n

The built environment accounts for a large portion of carbon emissions emitted each year globally. As a large infrastructure firm, we have both an opportunity and a responsibility to address the climate emergency. The biggest impact we can make is to reduce the carbon in our work, and that\u2019s where ScopeX comes in.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n

Our target<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

ScopeX\u2122 is AECOM’s approach to solving for carbon. In partnership with you, we find opportunities to influence carbon emissions in all our projects. ScopeX is a way of systematizing the methods, workflows and technologies needed to enable decarbonization of the projects we work on.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n ScopeX directly contributes to two of our four Sustainable Legacies pillars. The first pillar, embed sustainable development and resilience across our work, requires that we apply these concepts universally, across the breadth of our projects. The second pillar, achieving net zero emissions, applies both to our internal operations as well as to how we engage and support our clients to achieve their own net zero targets. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\n
\n

EMBED DECARBONIZATION INTO EVERYTHING WE DO<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Our long term objective:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

We’re cutting both our own carbon impact and helping our clients achieve net zero through strategies, services and solutions that reduce operational and embodied carbon now and in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our ScopeX approach to net zero<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
\n

\n Using the ScopeX framework, we bring our skills and experience with carbon reduction together with digital tools and data to reduce emissions in each phase of an asset\u2019s lifecycle \u2014 from planning to asset management and decommissioning. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\n

Step 1: Conversations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The foundation of ScopeX is understanding your carbon reduction commitments, challenges, and aspirations. We are ready to meet you wherever you are on your decarbonization journey and design solutions around your project needs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

Step 2: Identifying carbon reduction opportunities and methods<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After initial engagement, our team will work with you to understand the baseline carbon footprint of the project. Once we understand where the opportunities are, our teams will review methods that best reach your goals, such as carbon modelling and analysis, alternative design methods, low carbon material specification and efficient and renewable energy sources.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n<\/path><\/path><\/svg>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Step 3: Leverage data and technology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We leverage data from external and internal sources to support the solution development. This includes industry-leading global emissions data from verified sources as well as a proven decarbonization strategies across a wide variety of assets and geographic locations collected from our projects. We use technology to enable decarbonization methods and connect with data. These include industry standard carbon accounting tools and custom carbon modelling and planning tools developed in house.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

Step 4: Implement decarbonization solution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

ScopeX is client focused, process driven and enabled by digital tools. Pairing our technical expertise and data sources with appropriate digital solutions, we confirm the right decarbonization approach and execute the project. Once the project is complete, we record the knowledge and results back in to the ScopeX platform to continuously improve and expand our service delivery.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Decarbonizing to deliver a better world<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Decarbonizing the built environment and supporting our clients to achieve their net zero agendas, we’re improving the cities and communities we serve, delivering a better world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Whether it is supporting the development of your carbon strategy or implementing reductions to your Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, the ScopeX approach considers materials, site locations, logistics, construction methods and energy sources to reduce both the embodied and operational carbon footprint of the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

ScopeX includes evolving digital solutions informed by the ongoing collection and analysis of client and project data, allowing us to refine our decarbonization capabilities over time and optimize carbon reduction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
