Sustainability

Invested in Sustainable Impact

We are committed to making environmentally conscious choices.

Our employee ownership model provides security and stability for the business and our clients, allowing us to look ahead and make positive decisions with a long-term impact rather than focusing on short-term changes.

Sustainability is a priority for us and our projects, and we are committed to playing an active role in shaping a greener future. Sustainability in construction is about more than just the finished product; it encompasses the entire process. We have invested in our own sustainable site accommodation and ensure that our operations are as eco-friendly as possible by using energy-efficient equipment and sustainable materials wherever we can. We implement rainwater harvesting systems on our sites to reduce our overall environmental impact. Waste reduction is a priority, and we actively promote recycling throughout all phases of construction.

Our goal is to not only minimise carbon output but also meet and exceed industry standards for sustainable building.

We recognise the importance of tackling embodied carbon—the emissions produced during the construction process. That is why we offer whole life-cycle carbon emission analyses at the design stage, ensuring that every project is optimised for sustainability from the ground up.

We work closely with our supply chain partners to ensure they adopt similar eco-friendly practices. This includes encouraging the use of sustainable materials and renewable energy sources throughout the entire project lifecycle. By fostering collaboration and shared values, we aim to create a ripple effect that promotes sustainability across the construction industry.

Sustainability isn’t just a goal—it’s a commitment, and we are proud of the tangible progress we’ve made.

Carbon Emissions Reduction

We are aiming for a 42% reduction in carbon emissions by 2030 and a 90% reduction by 2045, to align with global climate goals set by the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi). In our baseline year of 2022-2023, 36% of our total carbon emissions came from fuels, followed by 21% from business travel, and 12% from our fleet operations.

Renewable Energy Integration

We have installed photovoltaic (PV) panels at our headquarters and on several project sites, generating renewable energy to power our offices and site accommodations. Our headquarters is also equipped with solar panels, electric vehicle charging points, and energy-efficient building systems to further reduce our carbon footprint.

Sustainability in Construction

We incorporate sustainable materials and energy-efficient designs into our construction projects. Our aim is to meet high environmental standards like BREEAM and Passivhaus certifications, which focus on reducing energy use and promoting sustainability in building design.

Electric Vehicles and Equipment

We have transitioned a large portion of our fleet to electric vehicles, reducing our reliance on diesel. To support this, we have installed electric vehicle charging points at our offices. We also use electric plant machinery and tools on-site to reduce emissions during construction.

Waste Management

Reducing waste is a priority for us. Across our projects, we actively recycle and manage construction waste, ensuring we minimise what goes to landfill and make the best use of available resources.
