Recognising the crucial role that geotechnical and geoenvironmental industries play in shaping a sustainable future, the Association of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Specialists (AGS) is committed to fostering a culture of sustainability among its members. Given the diverse nature of AGS membership, which includes organisations of varying sizes and specialities, it is essential that sustainability targets are not only ambitious but also tailored to the unique capabilities and challenges faced by each member.

This Sustainability Charter serves as a framework for members to embed sustainable practices into their operations, while respecting and complementing existing commitments made under other sustainability initiatives and meeting legal obligations. By joining this Charter, AGS members pledge to take actionable steps towards advancing the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) across environmental, social, and economic dimensions.
