Bennetts Associates

Bennetts Associates is an architectural firm based in London, Edinburgh and Manchester, working across multiple sectors. Bennetts is the first architecture practice to implement Climate Perks, in an effort to reach their 2022 travel emissions reduction target of 7.5%. At Bennetts, they want their employees to put fighting climate change at the heart of their everyday lives as well as designing outstanding buildings for their clients.

"For Bennetts Associates, joining Climate Perks is a clear signal of our climate leadership, making it explicit both internally and externally that this is a key part of the way we do business. We recently told a recruitment agency about it and they were very excited about it, saying it’s exactly the sort of forward thinking policy that people want.

After years of doing personal footprinting of staff we realised flight emissions were going up, and wondered how we could help. Staff are open to lower carbon methods of travel, but time was always an issue. Climate Perks is a great policy that gives practical support to staff as well as demonstrating our commitment to the Climate Emergency, which runs through everything that we do”.
