AECOM
AECOM launched the ScopeX™ initiative in 2021 as part of its Sustainable Legacies strategy. ScopeX is a proprietary framework designed to embed carbon reduction into infrastructure design and delivery starting from the earliest stages of a project. Its goal is to reduce carbon impacts by 50% for major projects and reflects a shift from reactive sustainability to proactive decarbonization. AECOM applies carbon analysis during planning and concept design – not just post-design – and uses lifecycle carbon modeling to inform design choices and trade-offs.

Thick commitment to reduce energy demand or provide low carbon sources of energy. Project designs include to integrate renewable sources and battery storage to decarbonize the grid.
8
Thick commitment to engineer water projects for a number of communities in water-constrained geographies, both for preservation of supply and climate resiliency. For example, AECOM advised New York City on its comprehensive resiliency plan for its water system.
8
Thick commitment to design infrastructure projects to reduce carbon emissions through the lifecycle of the project by using energy more efficiently in the “making” and “operating” phases of the projects.
8
Thick commitment through the Sustainable Legacies strategy to address habitat loss by forecasting ecological impact and recommending solutions in the “planning,” “designing,” and “operating” stages that preserve or restore habitat.
