The fundamental sustainability issue that all businesses, as well as governmental and non-governmental bodies, are facing is that of climate change, both in terms of what is already happening and what can be expected to happen in the future, irrespective of efforts being made to reduce carbon emissions.
There are also many other sustainability issues, which often link back to, or are affected by, climate change. These involve the security of water and energy supplies, the maintenance of biodiversity and of agricultural and fisheries systems and, ultimately, the resilience of societies and organisations to respond to these important issues.
The issues are so far reaching that they affect all of SLR’s business areas. Provision of advice on sustainability issues requires a holistic view of the world and as such, a significant number of SLR’s technical disciplines provide advice, often as part of an integrated team of sustainability specialists, on sustainability issues to clients in the private and public sectors.
These web pages describe the wide range of experience and expertise in sustainability issues that SLR provides across all of the sectors in which it practices.
