DLR Group, founded in 1966, is an employee-owned integrated design firm headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska, US. It provides architecture, interior design, engineering and planning services across various sectors, including education, hospitality, sports and workplace environments. The company operates in major cities, such as Dubai, Chicago, Los Angeles and New York.
Summary
DLR Group discloses information on some topics related to urban sustainability but lacks disclosure on many important topics. The company reports having an emergency response strategy at its project locations, achieved through an iterative, inclusive and transparent planning process involving regions, cities, neighbourhoods and communities.
Regardless, there are opportunities for DLR Group to improve its performance. The company mentions objectives to establish a baseline year to track reductions in its water use intensity and to protect natural resources. In addition to this, it should set time-bound targets to reduce water withdrawal and improve water quality.
While the company discloses its ecological goals focused on regenerative design to support biodiversity and ecosystem services, it is recommended to also commit to zero ecosystem conversion of protected areas.
DLR Group has limited reporting on sustainability topics identified through a materiality assessment and lacks a comprehensive sustainability strategy. Additionally, DLR Group lacks reporting on how it monitors the health and safety performance of its suppliers. The company should also make public its policy commitments to respect fundamental human and labour rights. Addressing these gaps will enable the DLR Group to strengthen its sustainability practices and better align with industry standards.
