Net-zero Carbon and Climate-resilient Developments
Our team of climate experts can help your project take advantage of the latest climate-smart thinking and strategies.
What we Do
Mantle Developments helps create projects that go beyond energy efficiency, incorporating resilience and life cycle approaches so that your project is future proof and net-zero carbon ready.
Net-zero & Embodied Carbon Management 
The manufacture and transportation of construction materials is responsible for over 11% of global emissions and 50% of emissions from new buildings to 2050. Mantle Developments understands, quantifies, minimizes, offsets/removes, and reports these emissions.
Climate Resilient Construction 
Our changing climate means that developments are increasingly being subjected to weather conditions they weren’t designed for, from floods to wildfire. Mantle Developments can help your organization understand your business and/or project’s exposure to climate risk and provide targeted solutions.
Low-carbon Construction & Certification 
Mantle Developments can help your project achieve climate-related voluntary certifications and mandatory regulatory requirements.
Policy Development & Research
We support leading policymakers, asset owners, and developers to research and develop innovative climate-smart strategies, plans, and policies.
Education & Training
The first step to creating low-carbon and climate-resilient developments is to understand why these are good for people, the planet, and long term profits. Mantle Developments provides custom training that can be tailored to suite your stakeholders from tenants to board and executives.
