Helena Rivers on rethinking pathways to a sustainable built environment

Helena was listed as one of the top 100 most influential women in the engineering sector and in 2019 named one of the most influential women in engineering by the Financial Times. Helena is currently leading on net zero for AECOM across Europe and India and tells podcast host, Dr Graham Kelly, why it is important for organisations to develop their decarbonisation pathways and what operational pressures this can create for a business. Graham asked Helena, when it comes to decarbonisation strategies where would you say as an industry, we are getting it right and just as importantly where are we not getting it right?  The conversation then goes deep into the understanding and responsibilities of sustainability within the built environment and how to prioritise what needs to be addressed first in the decarbonisation journey.
