Sustainability at the Core
At Terol Engineering, sustainability is not just a practice, it’s a principle that permeates every facet of our operations. We recognize the profound impact that civil engineering has on the environment and communities, and we embrace our responsibility to foster a sustainable future.
Our dedication to sustainability is reflected in our disruptive remote-first business model, innovative design approaches and our unwavering commitment to reducing environmental footprints.
With every project, we want to ensure that we not only meet the current needs of our clients and society but also preserve and enhance the world for future generations.
Our Green Business Model
We have an innovative and disruptive business model with several measures to minimize our carbon footprint to the bare minimum.
100% Remote
To eliminate commutes and give people freedom.
No offices
To minimize the use of energy and waste.
Used electronics
We opt for second-hand whenever possible.
No business travel
To eliminate flights thanks to technology.
No site visits
To minimize emissions whilst remaining efficient.
Green Banking
We only use ethical and green banks.
Our Carbon Footprint
Even if we minimize our carbon footprint to the bare minimum, we still generate greenhouse gas emissions as a result of our operations. Each year, we measure our carbon footprint with the company Ecofye. In our 2022-23 fiscal year, we had a total carbon footprint of 1.25 tCO2eq. Below you can find a snapshot from their report, and you can download the full report here if you wish.
We offset over 200% of our carbon footprint
Since we started in 2021, we have been carbon negative – that is, climate positive. We offset over 200% of our carbon footprint through the purchase of high-quality carbon credits on GoldStandard. We invest in nature-based solutions, such as reforestation projects that support local communities, and also in renewable energy projects. You can see a snapshot of our latest offsets below, and you can also check our certificate here.
We donate 1% of our revenue to the planet
We are members of the movement 1% for the Planet, and have been donating 1% of our revenue to environmental NGOs since 2022. We believe in business as a force for good, and because of that we have joined a growing movement of companies that give back to nature and our planet.
