We are fully committed to sustainable development
Sustainability is at the heart of our work and we recognise our responsibility to protect and enhance the environment by reducing our environmental impact, waste and use of resources.
Guided by our net-zero carbon framework and the UN Sustainable Development Goals, we’re ambitious about what we can achieve. We’re on course to achieve net-zero carbon for our direct greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) by 2030. This journey is not always an easy one, but we are committed to collaborating with partners to adapt our approach, share knowledge and support innovation.
We aim to divert 99% of avoidable waste from landfill on our own construction sites, while our HGV fleet is fully EUR06 compliant. We also actively conserve and enhance local environments, biodiversity and natural ecosystems. Elsewhere, we work with the UK Green Building Council and Yorkshire Climate Action Coalition on climate change adaptation, while our climate working group works with our senior leaders – to challenge and then bring about the change we’re committed to.
