Sustainability
We recognise our responsibilities to society, the environment and the way in which we contribute to a sustainable economy. The company aspires to meet society's expectations with a high standard of business management and through our individual actions. It is therefore our aim to continue to work in partnership with our stakeholders for mutual benefit.
Our Approach
We understand the principles of sustainable development and actively seek ways in which to contribute to achieving the objectives of the United Kingdom's Strategy for Sustainable Development; that is:
- Social progress which recognises the needs of everyone;
- Effective protection of the environment;
- Prudent use of natural resources; and
- Maintenance of high and stable levels of economic growth and employment.
Our approach to sustainable development is based on the assessment of our ability to make positive impact against each one of these sustainability objectives.
We strive to influence and support our customers in adopting a sustainable approach to their businesses. Some of the ways we do this include:
- Adoption of environmental purchasing policies
- Including environmental consideration clauses in contracts
- Incorporation of sustainable development considerations
- Replacement or modification of ozone-depleting plant / equipment / systems
One of our core services is a dynamic whole of life cost modelling programme. This enables Project teams to use our Four-Dimensional Cost Model (4DCM) at the outset of a programme or project to cut out waste. The model maps CO2 emissions so project teams can see in advance the sustainability impact of their decisions.
We are in the process of developing a fully documented sustainable development strategy, which will result in generating our own bespoke set of "sustainability indicators" which will allow us to assess and quantify our progress towards sustainability. More detail on the Environment component of our sustainability strategy is provided below.
