Our Planet
Our Goal
We aim to make a positive impact on the planet by putting the environment at the heart of our operations. We consider the long-term effects of our actions and work with partners, customers and clients to sustainably manage the UK’s critical infrastructure and reduce our environmental footprint. We do this by:
Emissions Reduction Commitment
We are committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050, supporting the goal to limit global warming to 1.5°C. We’ve assessed our Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions, including Scope 1, Scope 2 and key Scope 3 impacts and used this data to set science-based targets and drive meaningful action.
By embracing innovation and transparent accountability, through aligning with/shadowing the Science Based Target Initiative (SBTi), we aim to reduce our climate impact and support a sustainable future.
Resource Management and Efficiency
We focus on efficient resource use to cut costs and reduce environmental impact.
We track energy, water, chemicals, materials and waste to find savings to aim for zero going to landfill.
We promote paperless offices, recycling programs and support circular economy practices while partnering on alternative energy and water solutions.
Biodiversity
The Group manages extensive land across all regions, including protected areas, aiming for biodiversity net gain through rewilding and habitat support.
We minimise impact, promote community land use and return unused land when possible.
Water Quality
We are committed to delivering wholesome water while protecting the marine environment.
We closely monitor discharges, report all environmental near misses to our Board and take swift action to ensure any rare spills have minimal environmental impact.
Sustainable Travel
Our Group of businesses rely heavily on transport to provide services to all the infrastructure locations.
We are committed to reducing our environmental impact by using telematics and gamified mobile apps that help our drivers understand their habits and lower their carbon footprint in real time. We also encourage sustainable travel through our HR policies.
