Global Standards

We work to globally recognised standards like LEED, WELL, Estidama, and Al Sa'fat to deliver spaces that are healthy, efficient, and third-party certified.

Our Bold 2030 Commitment

Our commitment is bold: by 2030, 100% of our projects will be green-certified. To support that, we’re launching the Summertown Sustainability Standard—a clear, actionable framework for delivering high-performance interiors.

For projects over 2,000 sqm, we also offer complimentary LEED certification—helping clients unlock the value of sustainability at no extra cost.

How It Happens

Sustainability is embedded into every stage of delivery:

Smarter procurement

Prioritising local, low-impact, and responsibly sourced materials

Live monitoring

Tracking energy, water, and waste in real time across all sites

Site metering

Ensuring electricity use is visible, measurable, and managed

Circular thinking

Auditing demolition waste for reuse opportunities before work begins

Impact oversight

Conducting regular site assessments to reduce environmental harm

Safe working

Upholding strict HSE protocols to protect people and the planet

Waste & Resource Use

Demolition waste is one of the biggest contributors to construction impact. We tackle it through detailed pre-site audits and monthly project waste tracking to improve recovery rates and avoid landfill.

Living Business Programme

As a proud member of the Living Business programme, we're actively working toward Zero Waste to Landfill as part of our 2030 goals.
