Foster + Partners

Foster + Partners, founded in 1967, is a globally renowned, privately owned architectural firm headquartered in London, United Kingdom. Foster + Partners specialises in architecture, engineering, industrial design and urban planning across the commercial, cultural, infrastructure, residential and other sectors. The firm operates in major cities worldwide, including Beijing, Dubai, London and New York, and has been involved in projects such as the Gherkin in London, Apple Park in California and the Hong Kong International Airport.

Summary

Foster + Partners discloses information on some topics related to urban sustainability but lacks disclosure on many important topics. The company promotes commuter incentives to employees through schemes like Cycle2Work, which allows staff to make monthly payments for bicycles before taxes and provides facilities for bicycle maintenance, secure storage and on-site showers.

Regardless, there are areas where Foster + Partners can improve its performance. While the company has programmes to promote a safe and healthy environment, it should also disclose a policy statement committing to the health and safety of workers.

Foster + Partners has implemented measures to manage and monitor discharge water quality, including installing sensors to regulate legionella and bacteria across its campus. It should report similar measures for all its projects aligning with external standards or certifications.

Foster + Partners lacks evidence of time-bound targets to increase energy efficiency and reduce water withdrawals. Additionally, the company should make public its policy commitments to respect fundamental human and labour rights. Addressing these gaps will enable the company to strengthen its sustainability practices and better align with industry standards.
