Sustainability
Work with a partner you can trust
BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Methodology) and LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) are leading international standards for sustainable buildings, while BREEAM RFO and SKA Ratings are leading standards for refurbishments. RLB’s certified providers have supported hundreds of clients around the world in this field. We are your trusted partner for all aspects of delivery within your tight timescales and budgets.
Attain the best standards
Around the world, a wide range of other building standards can play a crucial role in your ESG performance and path to net zero – from the WELL standard, providing a holistic approach to support health and wellbeing, to NABERS, bringing efficiency to occupant energy use. We can help you understand and implement the building standard that is right for you.

Reach your sustainability goals
Changing legislation, stakeholder expectations and societal pressures have placed extensive ESG, net zero and energy requirements on organisations. We provide the expertise, the tools and methodologies needed to embed sustainability into data, decision-making and operations to effectively drive positive impact. Our expert team analyses the optimum routes to sustainability goals, in line with best-practice.
Improve whole life value
We believe in integrating sustainability with cost to drive whole life value. Delivering green building certifications to tight project timescales requires significant technical input across a range of sustainability disciplines. RLB provides specialist in-house support, from life cycle cost and ecology services to life cycle carbon assessment and sustainable procurement.

How we’ve helped others meet their challenges
UNITED KINGDOM
NET ZERO RETAIL FIT-OUT
Guiding NatWest towards net zero
We developed a strategic roadmap for achieving net zero carbon across the retail estate of NatWest, one of the UK’s biggest banks. Our approach, which embedded sustainability into NatWest’s branch refurbishment programme, has already delivered significant carbon reductions, setting a new standard for sustainability in the retail banking sector.
“The RLB sustainability team showed us what holistic good practice looks like when it came to a roadmap towards target net zero. Their knowledge of sustainability within the built environment is very strong, and their innovative approaches have set the bar for our sustainable fit-out practices going forward.”
