Foundational level
Sustainability sits at the heart of Perkins&Will’s work. To tell that story well, marketing needs to understand both the language and the science behind it. This bespoke pathway builds that understanding in three stages. It starts with a shared vocabulary, then covers the built-environment issues that shape the firm’s projects, and finishes with how to communicate them in proposals, press and award submissions in a way that is accurate and compelling.
In this pathway
Use core sustainability terms correctly, including ESG, net zero, carbon neutrality and Scopes 1–3
Explain what makes a building sustainable, from design and materials through to operation
Understand embodied and operational carbon, circularity and the role of carbon offsets
See where ESG fits into supply chains and why ESG ratings can mislead
Spot greenwashing risk and make sure every claim is backed by evidence
Turn technical sustainability wins into stories that persuade clients, juries and the press
