Sustainability & Net Zero Roadmap
Sustainability is important to our business as we accelerate our contributions to a sustainable and inclusive world. We are transparent in our sustainability/net zero development and achievements.
As part of our Net Zero Roadmap, we evaluate our suppliers to ensure, where possible, that products and materials procured are environmentally sustainable. Preferred suppliers are certified with responsible sourcing standards such as BES 6001 or ISO 14001.
Our six steps towards Net Zero
- EVALUATE and review current practices, build specific strategies and formulate action plans.
- REFUSE single use / plastic packaging, REDUCE waste, RE-USE items, REPURPOSE items & equipment, RECYCLE packaging waste where possible.
- REDUCE our reliance on print media and switch to online communication wherever possible.
- OPTIMISE our business travel and travel to project sites.
- ENGAGE with our supply chain to reduce emissions associated with all our business activities.
- CHANGE our behaviour to improve energy efficiency and reduce our reliance on fossil fuels in our core business activities.
