landscape architecture firm serious about decarbonizing their
businesses. These smart strategies can help firms not only reduce their

Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ and the Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ Fund have released a comprehensive, freely-available guide:
Towards Zero Emission Business Operations: A Landscape Architect¡¯s Guide to Reducing the Climate Impacts of Offices
The guide is designed to help landscape architecture firms of all sizes navigate the transition to zero emission offices more easily.
It outlines more than 110 strategies landscape architecture firms can implement to reduce their business and project greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 50-65% by 2030 and achieve zero emissions by 2040.
The guide provides best practice strategies relevant for firms that rent or own their offices. It offers firms ways to:
- Measure their carbon footprint
- Develop a climate action plan to reduce emissions
- Take actions to reduce Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions
The Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ Climate Action Committee produced Towards Zero Emission Business Operations to support landscape architecture firms in achieving the goals of the Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ Climate Action Plan.
The guide is authored by landscape architect Ronnie Siegel, Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ, founder, and Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ Climate Action Committee Member, who interviewed 19 landscape architecture, architecture, and sustainability consulting companies to develop the resource.
The guide builds on the Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ Climate Action Plan and the Climate Action Field Guide for Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ Members, which chart a pathway for landscape architects to achieve zero greenhouse gas emissions in their projects and operations and increase carbon sequestration by 2040.
