Samantha Peart has been announced as the new global Head of Sustainability.
Samantha has established an international reputation as an entrepreneurial leader in sustainability consultancy, driving organisational transformation for a world-wide roster of clients. For Hassell, she will be leading the drive for innovation in sustainable design placing the firm at the forefront of sustainable thinking and action in the architecture and design industry.
With a background in first principles sustainable design and engineering, Samantha’s work in building sustainability strategies and initiatives spans 20 different countries and projects ranging from large-scale infrastructure and high-end commercial and residential buildings to healthcare facilities, galleries, retail developments and university campuses.
Samantha is excited to embed sustainability into every level of Hassell’s operations in support of the company’s commitment to ensure all its building projects are net zero carbon by 2030. To achieve this, she will build on the work done to date and further develop design strategies to reduce operational and embodied carbon on every project.
“The key to achieving great sustainability outcomes is to ensure that the people within organisations are the drivers of change,” says Samantha. “My role at Hassell is about sustainability but it is also about organisational transformation.
