What if three letters were quietly influencing the decisions that shape your daily life without you even realising it?
ESG. We hear this ‘buzzword’ everywhere - but do we really understand what it means, why it matters, and how it is transforming the built environment?
In the latest episode of our ‘Sandbox’ podcast, host Andy Duncan is joined by Buro Happold experts - Trevor Keeling, Bianca Laura Latini, and Richard Twinn - to strip ESG back to its foundations and explore what it actually looks like in practice.
Tune into discover:
- What ESG really is beyond the ‘buzzwords’
- The shift from box‑ticking to genuine mindset change
- How ESG shows up on real projects, from design standards to long‑term legacy
- Measuring the social side of ESG
- The political and practical challenges organisations face
- What ESG could, and should look like 20 years from now
Whether you are working in the ESG space or simply interested in how our built environment shapes how we live, this episode is full of sharp insights and practical takeaways.
Subscribe to the whole series; Sometimes we’ll tackle a subject head on, sometimes a sideways view - but always with curiosity, expertise and maybe even a dash of humour.
