Engineering Council guidance on sustainability

11 Feb 2021

The Engineering Council updated its guidance for engineers and technicians on sustainability this January.  Registered engineers are required to carry out their work in a way that contributes to sustainable development.  The six principles set out by the Engineering Council to support professional engineers and technicians when making decisions for clients, employers and society that affect sustainability are as follows:

1. Contribute to building a sustainable society, present and future

2. Apply professional and responsible judgement and take a leadership role

3. Do more than just comply with legislation and codes: be prepared to challenge the status quo

4. Use resources efficiently and effectively

5. Seek multiple views to solve sustainability challenges

6. Manage risk to minimise adverse impact and maximise benefit to people and the environment

 

Various tools are available to assist in this work including:
