About

Our Sustainable Systems Group (SSG) takes a whole-systems perspective to measuring sustainability in design, engineering and decision making. We use methods from industrial ecology to understand the full environmental footprint of our products and activities, and to determine what choices will lead to more sustainable outcomes in practice.
