Summary

Gensler discloses information on some topics related to urban sustainability but lacks disclosure on many topics. The company provides evidence of its process to manage and reduce water withdrawals by following the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold certification requirements. Additionally, Gensler has disclosed its natural disaster risk assessment process, which includes data from stakeholders and statistical models to predict risks.

While Gensler states it has women in leadership positions, it should disclose a public commitment to promoting gender equality. Moreover, though the company has committed to reaching carbon neutrality by 2030, it should also provide time-bound targets for reducing its scope 1 and 2 emissions. Gensler is recommended to report its commitment to zero conversion of protected areas and its plan to incorporate regenerative design with science-based targets. The company should also formalise its commitments to human and labour rights in its corporate policies.

Gensler lacks reporting on time-bound targets for reducing water withdrawals and improving energy efficiency. Additionally, it provides limited details on how it monitors the health and safety performance of its suppliers. Addressing these gaps will enable Gensler to improve its sustainability practices.
