Decarbonising WPP

Our campus strategy centres on repurposing iconic older buildings, retaining as much of the original structure and fittings as possible to preserve embodied carbon and reduce environmental impact. At One Southwark Bridge, our newest London office, we retained almost 75% of the existing structure, avoiding around 60% of the embodied carbon compared to demolition and rebuild. The building has achieved BREEAM Outstanding certification – awarded to only about 1% of assessed new construction projects – in recognition of its highly sustainable design, advanced technologies and innovative practices that minimise environmental impact, reduce waste and promote biodiversity.

Reducing unnecessary travel globally, supported by the digital collaboration tools – including WPP Open – that make working across geographies genuinely efficient.
