SEATTLE — McKinstry has joined The Climate Pledge. The Climate Pledge, co-founded by Amazon and Global Optimism, calls on new signatories to be net-zero carbon across their businesses by 2040 — a decade ahead of the Paris Climate Agreement’s goal of 2050.

McKinstry has laid out a 10-year plan to urgently act to address the climate crisis. The company aspires to reduce its annual carbon emissions to net zero by 2030 — but no later than 2040 — and help clients reduce their climate impacts, empower its employees to take action, form community partnerships with organizations addressing the climate crisis, and advance innovations that drive lasting change in the built environment.
