Sustainability goals

Since 2006, COWI has signed and been committed to the principles and ambitions of the UN Global Compact. Through the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), COWI commits to cut emissions in line with the Paris Agreement's goal to keep the global temperature rise below 1.5 degrees Celsius and reach organisation-wide net-zero targets before 2050. It is already a part of COWI's strategy that in approximately three to five years, 100 per cent of the company revenue must come from projects that support the drive towards sustainability.
