Sustainability
From carbon footprints to recyclable materials to health and safety to sustainability workshops; we take our commitment to the environment, and running socially responsible sites, very seriously.
We have a clear Sustainability Strategy, with established targets, and our ultimate aim is to be recognised as the leading provider of sustainable building envelope solutions. As proof of our commitment to the environment, we are members of Dcarbon8 and we became Planet Positive accredited in 2007.
Our strategy includes the consideration of:
Our four step sustainability strategy covers:
- Measuring CO2 emissions.
- Reducing CO2 emissions.
- Offsetting CO2 emissions.
- Reporting our results.
Carbon Management
Long term objective: Reduce the carbon footprint of our business operations’ development sites.
Targets
- Measure operational carbon footprint for our business operations.
- Measure carbon footprints on all new development sites.
- Measure the embodied carbon impact of the machinery we use on-site.
- Identify ways to reduce the carbon footprint of our machinery on-site, e.g. use of bio diesel.
- Investigate the opportunity to use a common site tank.
- Investigate lead times for a building in summer and winter.
Key Performance Indicators
- EN3 direct energy consumption by primary energy source.
- EN4 indirect energy consumption by primary source.
- EN16 Total direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions by weight.
