Since our founding in 1984, KieranTimberlake has been committed to the protection and betterment of planetary and community health. We confront climate change, social inequity, and biodiversity loss through all our work, outreach, and discourse.  
 
We are signatories of the AIA 2030 Commitment, which seeks to make all buildings carbon neutral by 2030, and the AIA Materials Pledge, a promise to consider human, climate, and ecosystem health as a part of the building materials evaluation process.  
 
As part of our ongoing participation in these initiatives, we report our projects' data to the Design Data Exchange (DDx) and share our Sustainability Action Plan (SAP), which provides guidance and benchmarks for achieving carbon neutrality. 
 
In 2024, we reimagined our SAP into a living document which affirms our commitments, establishes actionable goals, and organizes our efforts toward a more sustainable approach to architectural practice.

Rather than continuing to update our SAP on annual basis, our new plan focuses on the final years before the 2030 deadline.

We acknowledge that a six-year SAP differs from the AIA 2030 recommendation for signatory firms to update the SAP every three years. However, there is little time to waste. We hope a long-term vision with a plan to maintain and evolve a resources library will allow us to be focused on the bigger picture while navigating project life cycles. 
 
Our commitments envision a broad spectrum of sustainability, inclusive of greenhouse gas emissions, water management, ecology and environmental justice, occupant health and well-being, cultural and social justice, and resilience.  
We recognize the urgency of the climate and biodiversity crises and the corresponding need to be ambitious with our goals. Every project must contribute to our progress toward a more sustainable, just, and ethical future.
