Leading the way to a sustainable future

As a global practice engaged in the design of the built environment, we are committed to the work of transforming our profession to lead the way to a sustainable future.

AIA 2030 Pledge
Signatories have committed to transform their practices to deliver carbon neutral buildings by 2030. They demonstrate their progress by reporting the predicted energy performance of their entire body of work to the AIA each year. In 2009, LEO A DALY became a 2030 Commitment signatory and committed to sharing our design portfolio energy performance data.

SE 2050 Pledge
In 2021, LEO A DALY became SE 2050 signatories and committed to focusing on educating ourselves and our communities on the best practices of sustainable structural design, engage in an embodied carbon tracking program within the industry, and reporting on current impacts and trend of structural systems in the name of achieving zero net carbon structures by 2050.

AIA Materials Pledge
We joined the AIA Materials Pledge in 2021 as an extension to the AIA 2030 Commitment. We are committed to understanding the environmental and human health impacts of our building materials. As such, we are committed to raising awareness both internally within our teams and to our clients by developing resources to help our teams select and specify products that are responsibly and ethically sourced, free of hazardous substances, transparent in their chemical makeup and disclose their life cycle impacts. Performing a comprehensive evaluation of the products that live within our designs and our libraries while balancing the priorities of our clients is of utmost importance.

MEP 2040 Pledge
In 2024, LEO A DALY signed on to the MEP2040 pledge, committing to establish a company plan to reduce operational and embodied carbon across MEP systems on all projects, targeting zero by 2040. This action further solidified LEO A DALY’s commitment to advancing sustainability across all disciplines in our work.
