Over the next 12 months, we will be looking into areas of the business to see where we can reduce our emissions.

Taking Sustainability Seriously Is a Company-Wide Attitude

1. 50% Reduction in Carbon Emissions by 2030:

  • We aim to achieve a substantial 50% reduction in our carbon emissions by the year 2030, aligning with global efforts to combat climate change.

2. Embracing Car Sharing for a Greener Commute:

  • To promote sustainable transportation, we are actively encouraging employees to participate in car-sharing initiatives. This not only reduces the overall carbon footprint but also fosters a sense of community among our staff.

3. Prioritising Local Suppliers:

  • We are committed to working with local suppliers to minimise transportation distances and support the regional economy. By prioritising local suppliers, we aim to cut down on the emissions associated with long-distance transportation.

4. Promoting Train Travel Over Driving:

  • In an effort to reduce the carbon impact of commuting, we strongly advise our staff to choose train travel whenever possible instead of driving. This not only reduces individual carbon footprints but also aligns with our commitment to sustainable transportation.

5. Waste Disposal:

  • Using Go Green reports, we track waste disposal from live site projects and offices, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of our environmental impact and facilitating continuous improvement in our waste management practices.
