Celebrating Asian American, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander Month together In May, we’re proud to celebrate Asian American, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander (#AANHPI) Heritage Month in the US and #AsianHeritageMonth in Canada, celebrations dedicated to recognizing the countless contributions of Americans and Canadians of Asian descent to the strength of our societies. This year, the national theme for the US observance is #AdvancingLeadersThroughInnovation. We use these flowers – a celebratory fixture across AANHPI cultures – in our imagery to symbolize that leaders, like flowers, are ever evolving, creating new leaders by begetting a safe environment for those coming after them to thrive. At Ramboll, our mission is to create sustainable societies where people and nature flourish. We are dedicated to broadening participation of underrepresented talent in our industry; thus, equality, diversity, and inclusion is an integral part of everything we do. We work every day to build and foster an inclusive workplace where all employees have the opportunity to thrive and feel that they belong. #inclusion #aanhpimonth #brightminds #drivenbyinnovation #aapimonth #asianheritagemonth

Did you know it can take up to 80 years for a new energy-efficient building to achieve a lower-carbon impact than renovating an existing building? Need more proof to renovate instead of building from scratch? The numbers are in: - 40% of global CO2 emissions - 50% of global materials extracted - 1/3 of global waste Renovation can help to balance out such issues! Explore the financial, social, and environmental benefits of renovating existing assets instead of building new structures with us. Ready to act more responsibly with emissions?

“The sustainability case for renovation is clear cut.”   Did you know that the built environment is responsible for:   🌍 40% of global CO2 emissions 🗑️ 33% of global waste 🏙️ Nearly 50% of all extracted materials   This Earth Day, hear from Pernille Louise Klausen as she explains the impact of renovation over building new and why legislation means transforming existing buildings should be taken seriously: 👉 https://lnkd.in/eZMwyc6u   #EarthDay #LetsCloseTheGap #PartnerForSustainableChange #Sustainability #Renovation #Building #Construction

The built environment is responsible for 40% of global CO2 emissions, so how can we make the industry more sustainable? 🏙 In this edition, we explore why renovating buildings makes more sense than building new, as well as the energy trilemma and fair water management 👀 #Newsletter #Building #Construction #RenewableEnergy

How can the EU achieve energy security, affordability, and sustainability? 👀⚡   Known as the energy trilemma, recent challenges in Europe underscore the importance of finding the right balance between these three factors.   We interview Ask T.

Are you planning a new construction project? Take a look at the benefits of renovation instead 🏙️ 👀   In pursuit of a more sustainable future, we must reevaluate the need for new construction, particularly when existing properties offer opportunities for repurposing and refurbishment. With careful planning and management, these repurposed assets could not only appeal to tenants but also be more resilient to a changing climate, catering to a variety of future needs and functions.   Swipe through to learn why renovating existing properties is crucial for reducing carbon emissions and costs in building projects 👇   And find out more about the benefits of renovation: 👉 https://lnkd.in/eZMwyc6u #LetsCloseTheGap #PartnerForSustainableChange #RespectReviewRenew

Unlocking the power of data for sustainable architecture 🌍🏙️ For the first time ever, we are making our carbon data for buildings openly available for all stakeholders across industry and governments through the CO2mpare database. Understanding carbon distribution in buildings is pivotal for decarbonisation. Yet, access to consistent data is not easy to come by. With CO2mpare, we are bridging this gap, offering insights from +130 projects worldwide. Key features include: 🔍 Reviewing carbon levels across six countries and ten typologies 🔄 Comparing new-builds vs. renovations 📊 Analysing carbon distribution within the dataset Paul Astle, Decarbonisation Lead at Ramboll, emphasises the importance of this initiative and the necessity for industry collaboration.

  Idag uppmärksammar vi världsvattendagen Temat för världsvattendagen 2024 är ”Water for Peace”. Vatten kan bidra till fred, eller skapa konflikt. Därför är det viktigt att komma ihåg att tillgång till vatten är en mänsklig rättighet och att det behövs samarbete för att hantera våra resurser på ett jämlikt sätt.  Via länken nedan kan du läsa om fyra projekt där Ramboll arbetar med just detta, och som vi tycker är goda exempel på rättvis och effektiv hantering av vattenresurser.     I ett av exemplen berättar Louise Ulveland från Ramboll Sverige om hur vi arbetar tillsammans med Röda Korset för att förbättra levnadsvillkoren i ett av världens största flyktingläger, Cox’s Bazar i Bangladesh, genom vattenhantering och lösningar för sanitet och hygien.
