We began back in 2012, when embodied carbon reduction was little more than a whisper in the building sector. Intrigued by the possibilities, we set out to learn more about its benefits to both the environment and our clients as well as explore how it could strengthen collaboration between our large structural engineering practice and our newly formed sustainability consulting team. Our early work centered on R&amp;D, which involved conducting assessments, exploring benchmarks and learning alongside industry and academic partners.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When we last <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/carbonleadershipforum.org\/thornton-tomasetti-long-haul\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">published in CLF\u2019s <i>Spotlight<\/i> four years ago<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, we had entered a new stage, bolstered by an industry that had awoken to the critical need for embodied carbon reduction.

We continue to build capacity across disciplines and channel our efforts toward meaningful impact. Our internal embodied carbon community of practice has grown to 250 members across various practice areas. This organized network of our people has accelerated our progress, especially among our structural engineers, who responded to our internal call to action for every engineer to contribute to a project assessment for the SE 2050 database. In addition, our Sustainability and Resilience practice has seen growth of our life cycle assessment (LCA) work, and we are advancing our embodied carbon work in several other practices including Transportation and Fa\u00e7ade Engineering.
