We know sustainability
The world is changing and demanding more from infrastructure. The rapid evolution of technology, new levels of market disruption and global challenges like climate change are deepening the need for infrastructure that is increasingly green, connected, distributed, resilient and adaptive.
For more than a century, Black & Veatch has worked with clients to develop critical sustainable infrastructure. We build projects that are designed to operate for decades; we don’t follow trends, we define them. We solve problems for the people who are solving the world’s problems.
We understand your need for projects that embrace the world we see today and help make it the world we want tomorrow.

Driving the Global March Towards Sustainability
The next decade will be pivotal, as innovation and clean technology continue to drive the global march towards sustainability. Renewable energy from wind and solar power will continue to redefine power markets as communities actively seek out low-carbon and even zero-carbon power generation. Decarbonization technologies and techniques will enable us to remove and utilize atmospheric carbon. Electric vehicles will further reshape passenger, freight and transit networks as battery capacity and hydrogen move from plans to our roads. Water resources will leverage innovation in sourcing, metering and treatment to build resilience in the face of extreme weather and climate change. And the 5G revolution will deliver the connectivity necessary to bring these systems together.
Wherever you are along your journey, from planning through design, pilot projects through deployment at scale, we have the expertise to help you achieve your sustainability goals.
