Built Environment
Producing around 40% of global emissions through construction, operation and maintenance of buildings, this sector has enormous potential in creating positive change and forging a low carbon future. Our experienced team is here to help by collaborating with you to set evidence-based sustainability targets, measure progress and create transparent reporting.
We have experience working with:
- Business parks
- Retail parks
- Housing associations
- Retirement villages
- Residential developments

Airports
Since multiple countries including the UK, EU, India and Brazil have mandated the escalating use of Sustainable Aviation Fuels to replace fossil based jet fuels, the pathway for achieving net zero emissions in 2050 has become clearer. We relish the opportunity to help your firm to set and implement plans to tackle a range of issues including emissions, noise reduction, efficiency and Equality, Diversity & inclusion (EDI).
Ports
A number of leading UK ports are seizing the competitive advantage and have made good progress by setting clear transition plans for becoming net zero by 2035 or 2040. These ports are creating their own or switching to renewable energy, transitioning to electric forklift trucks and cranes or using HVO to power equipment. They are making vast improvements in recycling, safety, biodiversity and supply chains. Others are just starting this journey, these are the firms we can support, please contact us.
Healthcare
Global warming poses one of the most significant threats to the health, wellbeing, water and food supply of global populations. As the worldwide healthcare sector produces around 5% of GHG emissions it can play a key role in reducing emissions. Significant reductions in GHG emissions are being made by stopping using desflurane anaesthetic gas. More can be done by implementing efficiency initiatives to cut water, energy, waste and especially biowaste.
Manufacturing
Supply chain disruptions from geopolitical events and tariffs, high energy costs, pressures to adopt industry 4.0 tech and economic uncertainty put tremendous pressures on the manufacturing industry. On top of this there is growing regulatory, investor and societal pressures to decarbonise operations and run a company in a sustainable manner. Let us suggest and help implement the strategies to overcome these challenges.
Education
Worldwide many forward-thinking universities and some schools now have sustainability reports. In the UK all education establishments are required to put in place a climate action plan by 2025. Eqonic Sustainability can help by measuring your carbon footprint, finding energy efficiencies and other cost savings, helping with sustainability training and develop an evidence-based sustainability action plan.
