The TeamFor over 20 years, Cundall Australia has been delivering market-leading science-based sustainability solutions. Our expertise contributed to Australia's first Living Building Challenge certification, the first carbon-neutral certified office in Western Australia, and the first WELL-certified retail centres. We have over 400 Green Star projects and have recently been leading the way with the delivery of some of the first Green Star Buildings projects. We are a multidiscipline practice with sustainability at the core of what we do. We recognise that diversity is a strength and encourage our people to gain exposure to a variety of voices and ways of working by spending time in other locations and working on national and international projects and opportunities.
Globally, Cundall was the first engineering consultancy to achieve carbon neutral certification, and we have committed that by 2030, every project we work on will be net zero. We can achieve this by being an independent, values-driven, and partner-owned business with multinational scale and market-leading impact.
