MEP 2040 Commitment
At MCE, we are committed to reducing our environmental impact and contributing to a sustainable future. We believe that as engineers, we have a responsibility to design buildings that are in alignment with decarbonization strategies, resilient, and healthy for the occupants and the planet.
That is why we have adopted the MEP 2040 Challenge, a voluntary initiative by the Carbon Leadership Forum (CLF) that aims to eliminate embodied and operational carbon emissions from the built environment by 2040.
