Association of Noise Consultants sets out on a path to sustainability with two new guides for members

New guides have been published, explaining how the ANC’s members can use their skills to help society to take a softer step on the planet.

The Association’s sustainability committee has prepared two short sets of guidelines aimed at highlighting how acousticians can play a sustainable role in supporting biodiversity and in education.

Committee members hope the guidance, split into two key documents, will serve as a resource to help members form sustainable working practices, and to understand a little more about the issues facing the planet.

The guides align with the UN’s sustainable development goals, and the UN Frontiers Report 2022, which identifies noise as one of the three key challenges that need to be faced.

More guides are due to come online early next year.

Heulwen Peters, chair of the ANC’s sustainability committee, said: “These guides address the some of the issues that face our planet, and we hope it will give ANC members some inspiration as they take steps to contribute to a more sustainable future.

“They focus on how we can work and provide advice for our clients with more consideration of what construction and design methods are sustainable.”
