SKArating is evolving to provide a comprehensive assessment framework across all three pillars of sustainability: Environmental, Social & Wellbeing, and Economic & Value. Each pillar is assessed through its own dedicated scheme, designed with focused criteria to address specific sustainability impacts:
Currently, the Environmental scheme for Offices (v2.0) is live and available for assessment, having been streamlined to 83 good practice measures with a strengthened focus on net zero alignment and circular economy principles. The Social & Wellbeing scheme is under development, with an expected launch in Q2 2026, whilst the Economic & Value scheme will follow thereafter.
This three-pillar approach enables projects to measure, drive, and balance all sustainability impacts comprehensively. Clients have the flexibility to use each scheme independently or together, depending on their project priorities and sustainability objectives. Each completed assessment results in a separate certificate, clearly demonstrating your project's achievements within that specific pillar of sustainability.
Following the now published roadmap for the next few years, we aim to undertake more frequent updates to drive the market, reflect the speed of developments in industry, and client appetite for performance.
