Making Sustainability Happen
SLR is a committed partner in our clients’ sustainability journeys.
We help them move from influence to impact, turning intent into purposeful, practical action that delivers real-world results.
Guided by our philosophy of Rational Sustainability, we focus on what truly drives long-term value. By viewing decisions through the lenses of risk, reward, and resilience, we help clients act with confidence, balancing environmental and social responsibility with commercial and strategic success
Our purpose - Making Sustainability Happen - means delivering outcomes that are grounded in evidence, shaped by experience, and built to last.
At SLR, we're Making Sustainability Happen. We do this by enabling the sustainable flow of critical elements that underpin civilisation and support human progress. We see these flows as being:
-
Resources
Resources such as critical minerals, water and infrastructure are essential for resilience and economic development.We provide clients with the expertise to enable the sustainable development and delivery of products to their markets, promoting long-term prosperity.
-
Energy
Energy powers modern life and is central to the global transition to low-carbon systems. At SLR, we assist our clients in navigating the energy transition, adopting secure and sustainable energy sources in both electron and molecule form.
-
Capital
Both financial and human, enable innovation, infrastructure and the stimulus required to solve complex challenges. SLR is here to help our clients understand and safeguard their sustainable investments and growth initiatives.
-
Information
Such as data, technology and knowledge, must flow responsibly and effectively to understand the current state and inform our client’s robust decision-making, innovative solutions and foresight.
-
Essential Nutrients
Air, soil, biodiversity, and the ecosystems that produce our food and medicine, sustain human life and must be protected. Our teams work closely with clients to carefully balance and protect the ecosystem’s natural capital that helps power their organisations.
Sustainably managing these flows is critical to a thriving society. By balancing environmental protection, social progress and economic viability, we help ensure that these systems endure and evolve, for today and for the future.
These flows reflect the way SLR itself operates:
- We mobilise resources by connecting global expertise to the right challenges, wherever they are.
- We bring energy, through the passion, professionalism and drive of our people.
- We deploy capital by investing wisely in our people, our capabilities, and the future of our business.
- We share information. Empowering our teams through intelligent systems that unlock insights and amplify impact.
- And we foster our culture, the essential nutrient of any business, through empowerment, camaraderie and collaboration.
We are serious about the work we do and the difference we make - to our clients, our people, and ultimately, our planet.
Our Sustainability Goals
SLR takes a responsible attitude to the environment and to the communities in which we live and work.
To help achieve this, we have committed to reducing our operational GHG emissions through the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi). In line with global emissions goals to keep warming below 1.5°C, our validated targets include our near-term and long-term gross reduction targets to reduce Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 42% by 2030, and 90% by 2040; as well as Scope 3 GHG emissions by 25% by 2030 and 90% by 2040 respectively.
