Going Beyond ESG
Our mission is to bridge the gap between sustainability and human-centric design. Through regenerative principles, we aim to preserve our planet while enhancing human health and equity. Grounded in the principles of B Corp, we uphold transparency and accountability as fundamental values that steer our journey towards a more sustainable design industry.
Our Mission
Designing a space that people love, contributing to a sustainable and thriving future; where every design decision makes a positive impact on both people and our planet.
MCM Foundation
Our MCM foundation is built on a strong, sustainable DNA with a dual focus on social and environmental responsibility. On the social side, we proudly achieved B Corp status in 2021. On the environmental side, our ambitious Net Zero goals, submitted under the Science Based Targets initiative, outline our plan to achieve Net Zero emissions for Scope 1 and 2 by 2030 and Scope 3 by 2040.
MCM Legacy Values
The MCM Legacy Values are our internal framework, built around six key principles with a dual focus on social and environmental responsibility. This framework helps us create a holistic roadmap, where we assess our actions beyond just meeting our clients' ESG requirements. From circular, low-carbon, and considered materials to accessible, healthy, and ethical design considerations, this approach ensures that we create a positive and lasting impact.
Our Home
Great Suffolk Yard isn’t just an office; it’s a vibrant showcase of our MCM Legacy Values. We champion circularity with all second life elements, low carbon materials, and dismantlable glue free partitions. We've used sustainable materials like timber, linoleum flooring and recycled denim insulation. We've also utilised circadian lighting to aid wellbeing and have a variety of plant life which is maintained by a non-profit organisation supporting female ex-offenders. All of these choices are conscious decisions which reflect our B Corp commitments. By partnering with the right companies, we ensure a socially meaningful supply chain with ethically sourced coffee and tea, vegan cleaning products, and imperfect cutlery.
Sustainability at the Core of Our Projects
For our projects, our mission seamlessly integrates environmental sustainability with human-centric design, surpassing standard certifications. We embrace regenerative principles to protect the planet, enhance human health, and foster equity and inclusivity. Through collaboration with our clients, we craft designs that make a positive impact on both people and the environment, steering us all toward a thriving, sustainable future.
Climate Advocacy
We drive climate action through educational talks, roundtables, and workshops at top industry events and engage in advocacy research on carbon benchmarking, circularity, and regeneration. Partnering with experts, we offer sessions to educate professionals and raise awareness about B Corp certification, social value, and sustainability strategies.
