Sustainability
Protecting the planet is no longer a choice, but an obligation.
Time for revolutionary change: Aiming for net gain
We drive revolutionary change in our industry, promoting the sustainability agenda through our own operations and supporting our clients to achieve their sustainable business goals. We want to create a place where our people can thrive, deliver performance we can be proud of, support communities who are better for knowing us, and ensure environments are both protected and enhanced.
With the steps we are taking as a business to commit to a sustainable future, we are dedicated to ensuring that we accelerate this change as soon as we can, by taking our employees, suppliers and contractors on the journey with us. With this ambition, and our stakeholder engagement activities, we are focused on three core areas:
Environmental management
Our aim is to continue best practice in managing environmental issues, but also ensure we develop a 'net gain' in biodiversity on larger projects and start targeting water reduction at our sites.
Climate change and carbon
We are committed to achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2040, and introducing an internal carbon tax by 2034 that can be used to fund sustainable innovation projects across our business.
Circular economy
Our circular economy policy aims to stretch our business, ensuring we develop our own Grande Ocean Materials Passport linked to our BIM models for all larger projects, and commits us to reusing materials as much as possible.
