Heta architects are a growing studio with the experience, capability and infrastructure to deliver projects across a range of sectors in the UK and internationally.
This is Heta’s first year of business carbon footprint reporting. In this Decade of Action, the group wants to ensure that they are a force for good: positively transforming society and the planet by measuring its own impact on the environment.
Achieving Planet Mark is based on the commitment to continuous improvement in sustainability in its business operations by measuring and reducing its carbon footprint and engaging its stakeholders.
Since certifying to Planet Mark, the company has set a target to reduce emissions by 5% annually. Over the next year, Heta will be working towards reducing its carbon emissions and sharing its journey with its community to inspire others. By being more strategic about its environmental responsibility, the architect studio will be able to significantly increase its positive impact and hope to encourage continual improvements within its community.
Through Planet Mark, Heta has protected an area of endangered rainforest thanks to Cool Earth; a charity working alongside rainforest communities to halt deforestation. Its pledge through Cool Earth directly supports the Asháninka community in Central Peru.
It has also helped the Eden Project – an educational charity building connections with each other and the living world, exploring how we can work together towards a better future.
As part of the Planet Mark certification, HETA Architects has committed to make a year-on-year reduction.
