Claire Bonham-Carter, LEED AP BD C<\/b><\/h2>\n

Director of Sustainable Development \u2013 Design Planning, AECOM<\/b><\/h4>\n

\u201cI\u2019m primarily involved in policy planning, as clients ranging from municipalities to private developers seek frameworks for sustainable development. I\u2019ve worked on over a dozen climate action plans for U.S. towns and cities and helped the City of Seattle develop a policy analysis for green buildings; I also work to promote sustainable operations and provide annual sustainability reporting in the planning, design and development sector of the business.<\/p>\n

“Within AECOM, I\u2019ve been involved with sustainability initiatives focusing on producing green materials, reducing AECOM\u2019s carbon footprint, and launching Everyday Environmentalism, a program which includes establishing green teams in every office.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Gary Lawrence<\/b><\/h2>\n

Chief Sustainability Officer<\/b>
\nAECOM<\/b><\/h4>\n

\u201cThe majority of my work<\/a> has to do with making sustainability an essential part of all of our business decisions. We shouldn’t think of sustainability as a separate issue; it’s a decision-making tool that can help AECOM and its clients.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m an educator both within and outside AECOM on sustainability as both a risk- and opportunity-management idea, and continually making our enterprise and the societies in which we work more sustainable over time \u2013 including the development of rational and transparent data gathering and reporting mechanisms for employees, leadership, shareholders and potential investors \u2013 is a key part of every aspect of my work.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Dr. Thomas Tang<\/b><\/h2>\n

Regional Director, Corporate Sustainability \u2014 Asia
\nAECOM<\/b><\/h4>\n

\u201cMy work addresses our operations in Hong Kong, China, India and Southeast Asia<\/a>. I\u2019ve been working with all of the offices in the region to gauge their carbon footprint through data measurements (paper, electricity, water and air travel), as well as via office audits.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019ve nearly completed our first round of audits for this year, with a 5% reduction target for 2011. In addition, I\u2019ve established AECOM\u2019s inaugural Earth Day Sustainability Competition, in which staff can submit sustainability ideas to be implemented in 2010 and measured on Earth Day 2011.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
