We see global challenges as opportunities to support our customers in managing their impact and becoming more resilient. We are also on a mission to improve how we operate as a business, so that we can lead by best practice, and have a positive impact on the environment and our local communities.
The evidence of our impact on the earth is undeniable… and ever increasing. As our population keeps growing and our aspirations grow along with it, we can no longer pretend that these far-reaching challenges will not affect our world, our society and ultimately, our ability to operate in it.
As a science, technology, and engineering company we use our wealth of knowledge and expertise to help our customers in their response to global challenges across renewable energy, climate resilience, resource use, biodiversity, & emissions reduction. We are also supporting organisations transform their approach to sustainability, so they can be more responsible, competitive, and better positioned for the future.
There are many more ways we must collaborate to increase the positive impact that business is having on the environment and society. If you are also on a journey to improve your social and environmental impact, we would love to hear from you.
BMT has signed the Business Ambition for 1.5°C Pledge.

BMT Giveback
In celebration of our 25th anniversary, we launched a new and unique initiative, BMT Giveback, challenging our staff to provide positive engineering solutions to global problems. Given the organisation’s pedigree in conceptualising and delivering world class projects, it was no surprise that our employees around the world applied their skills, knowledge and ingenuity to identify new ways to address problems that impact negatively on people's lives.
Criteria states that any solution should use the knowledge, expertise and skills of our employees and focus on developing countries, perhaps addressing issues such as flooding, drought, housing, sanitation, energy supply and food production to name just a few.
To date, we have completed two projects. Our first saw the installation of a sewerage system in a village in India and the second, a bridge being built from the mainland to an island housing a small community in Indonesia.
Our best defence against extreme weather events such as storm tides can be the restoration and enhancement of coastal ecosystems.
The scale of the climate and environment emergency we face is recognised by most organisations, but how do we tackle the challenge of developing robust action plans in asset management?
Is stewardship of water the missing piece of the puzzle for green hydrogen?
With meticulous planning, offshore wind development projects can curtail early challenges.
The vast potential for wave energy production is undeniable when considering renewable energy sources to assist with the decarbonisation of industries and energy generation.
Remote communities around the globe, often not connected to an urban electrical grid, typically rely on costly diesel-generated electricity.
There is an increasing global need to transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy, which, combined with a demand for increased aquaculture production, means there is massive potential to do more in the blue economy sector.
