ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL & GOVERNANCE
Our focus and commitment to creating spaces that are sustainable and valuable through societal, environmental, health, and economic factors is central to our vision and values within BE.
Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria are a set of standards focussed around core principles and practices within business operations. They are regularly used by investors to assess risks, opportunities, and long-term value. Our objective at BE Design is to make these ideas central to the business vision and decision making of our clients, shaping projects and delivering impact through functional, purpose-led, and commitments.
Based on ISO26000, One Planet Living Principles, and the UN Sustainable Goals framework, our holistic approach to design and sustainability adds value for our clients, communities, investors, and local economies.
We get involved with the company direction of our clients to provide bespoke services through strategic development, benchmark reporting, and regeneration – helping clients to meet future market expectations with purposeful change, transparency, and resilience.
Our ESG services include:
- ESG / Corporate Responsibility Strategy
- Sustainability Statements
- Stakeholder Analysis and Management Strategy
- Report Assistance
- Benchmarking and Gap Analysis

We have specific focus areas and targets for our client’s requirements and embed social responsibility into every aspect of their project. BEWELL refers to creating spaces for a healthy lifestyle, while BEZERO involves designing low-carbon, environmentally sustainable solutions for the planet. We strive to provide the best service to our clients while prioritising the well-being of our stakeholders, employees, and the environment. As responsible corporate citizen, we believe in reducing our environmental impact through our designs and providing positive outcomes for society. Our “Sustainable Placemaking” approach enables us to contribute to several SDG goals, including 7, 9, and 12, while also Designing Responsibly for the Future.” which aligns with our goals of contributing to SDGs 8, 11, and 6. By focusing on materiality, we can offer strategic solutions for society and the environment.
