The Environment
The Heart of Our Industry
Sustainability and the circular economy in construction is incredibly important and the centre of much debate in recent years. In construction, we have the opportunity to make a positive impact on the environment with the decisions we make.
With the industry contributing to a staggering 37% of global carbon emissions, we are acutely aware of the important role we play in reducing that contribution as much as possible. This touches on almost every aspect of our role.
Dedicated to Carbon Reduction
Active contributions to sustainability and influencing plans to make them beneficial economically, environmentally, and socially from the start of projects and in every aspect is essential. We aim to not only meet but exceed sustainability targets set out on projects. We are dedicated to ensuring the use of the most efficient methods for construction. This ranges from minimising waste, reducing our carbon footprint, and examining material and supply chains to enhance efficiency. Where possible we will use retrofit and regenerative techniques as a priority in projects we’re engaged on.
Instilling a sense of responsibility within our team members and keeping them up to date with the latest developments, regulations and conversations surrounding sustainability and the part we need to play. CPD training incorporates training and knowledge on standards key to the industry including, BREEAM, WELL and ISO 14001 as well as the other standards to which we are certified.
