Drew Group
Sustainability is more than a goal at Drew Group; it’s a driving force behind our innovation. We’re committed to pioneering sustainable development, construction, and living, setting new industry benchmarks for environmental responsibility. We recognize the importance of our impact and are continuously evolving our practices to minimize our footprint and maximize positive outcomes. Our journey is one of constant improvement, refining our design and development processes to achieve greater environmental efficiency. Our dedication to sustainability is a long-term investment in our clients and communities. We’re focused on creating lasting value through a holistic approach that integrates social, economic, and environmental considerations. Join us as we build a more sustainable future, driven by innovation and a commitment to excellence.
Our commitment to sustainability is demonstrated through proactive and forward-thinking initiatives:
Accreditation-Driven Excellence: We leverage the rigor of industry-leading accreditation programs to guide our sustainability strategies.
Architectural Innovation: We partner with visionary architects to integrate the latest sustainable architecture principles into our designs.
Sustainable Urban Integration: Strategic site selection is paramount, ensuring our projects are integrated into vibrant communities with access to essential amenities and transport.
Nature-Inspired Design: We prioritize ecological sustainability through design elements like optimal solar orientation, water recycling, double-glazing, allowances for EV-charging stations and thoughtful site planning.
Building for Enduring Value: We focus on creating durable, long-lasting structures that minimize future waste and environmental footprint.
Operational Excellence and Longevity: We extend our commitment beyond construction, actively assessing our ongoing property managers post-completion to ensure they prioritize energy efficiency (utilizing solar for common areas) and water conservation (through advanced irrigation systems). This proactive approach ensures the longevity and sustained performance of our buildings.
Pioneering Sustainable Materials: We are at the forefront of sustainable construction practices, incorporating Holcim’s ECOPactZero concrete on select projects, achieving a significant 30-60% reduction in embodied carbon without relying on offsets. We anticipate this innovative material becoming the standard for all Drew Group developments. Furthermore, we prioritize sustainable material selection across all projects, including double-glazed windows and doors, recycled aluminum, and a wide array of low- carbon, recycled, or high-percentage recycled building materials.
Advancing Energy Efficiency and Future-Proofing: We are actively future-proofing our developments by implementing allowances for comprehensive EV charging infrastructure. This involves meticulous planning to ensure our buildings’ electrical systems can accommodate charging demands, including managing peak energy loads. To minimize reliance on air conditioning, we incorporate energy-efficient design principles, such as ceiling fans, strategic cross-ventilation, optimal solar orientation, and high-performance windows and doors. We exclusively utilize recognized, energy- efficient air conditioning brands.
Environmental Stewardship and Recognition: We maintain stringent environmental controls on our construction sites to prevent runoff and ensure no contamination enters waterways.
Our Continuous Journey: We recognize that sustainability is an ongoing evolution. We remain steadfast in our commitment to driving a sustainable, low-carbon, and resource-efficient economy through our business practices. We are enthusiastic about the future of our sustainability journey and look forward to sharing our progress with our customers.
