Sustainability

At Tengbom, we are unified by the objective to make the world a better place. We do this by creating architecture that contributes to a positive development of our society, by providing cutting-edge expertise and strategic partnerships, by guiding, engaging and co-creating with clients, users and the wider world from a sustainability perspective. Our knowledge, experience and dedication to sustainability have been formed over decades.

Among other disciplines, we currently provide extensive expertise in project planning and coordination of certification within the Swedish systems for environmental building. Our team includes specialists on the Sweden Green Building Council’s Environmental Building certification system, BREEAM, LEED, passive building technology and material selection, to name a few. Our employees can coordinate the entire certification process, from concept to completed project. We contribute to and comply with the UN’s 17 goals for sustainable development, the UN Habitat III New Urban Agenda, Sweden’s 16 environmental objectives, the Swedish Parliament’s generational objectives and the Brundtland report’s definition of sustainability insofar as possible.

Ever since the early 1990s, we have implemented an integrated environmental and quality system, which is modified over time in line with internal and external requirements. Our business system is based on the requirements specified in SS EN ISO 9001 and SS EN ISO 14001. You can find out more here.
