As one of the few design firms validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) has set rigorous, science-based targets to reduce carbon emissions across both its operations and the projects it delivers. The firm is committed to publishing annual progress updates, ensuring transparency, accountability and continuous improvement across its global footprint.
Sustainability Lead Herman Calleja emphasizes this responsibility: โThrough measurable commitments and transparent reporting, we are holding ourselves to the same high standards we advocate for in our projects around the world.โ
These targets underscore SOMโs dedication not only to decarbonizing its own practice but also to driving broader change throughout the built environment. By sharing firmwide greenhouse gas emissions, SOM provides a clear view of its current impact and long-term trajectory toward meaningful climate action.
