Protecting the Environment

Think sustainability and most people initially think about the natural environment. Protecting the environment and reducing our carbon emissions is a central tenet of our operations. We've consistently invested time, effort and financial resource into delivering actions that have a 'Nature Net-Positive' impact.

In becoming signatories to the Science Based Targets Initiative and the United Nations Global Compact Sustainable Development Goals we've publicly committed to reducing our carbon emissions and engaging in sustainable operations practices. 

 

Our Net-Zero Goals

Science-Based Targets Initiatives on Carbon Emissions (SBTi)

We are determined to reduce our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions: we’re already on a clear path towards effective change.

We have set Near-Term Science-Based Targets (SBTs) to help us reduce our GHG emissions. SBTs target a maximum increase against pre-industrialised temperatures of 1.5^oC as recommended in the Paris Climate Accords. We are committed to reaching the 1.5^oC near-term target before considering measures such as offsetting in our efforts to achieve net-zero. We work with specialist 'carbon consultancies' to provide the analysis, and seek independent verification from the British Standards Institution (BSI). We work with our clients on lifecycle analysis to make projects across all industries more sustainable.

2021 was our SBT baseline year and we have a maximum of 10 years to achieve our near-term targets. By neutralising residual emissions at the earliest opportunity, we’re committed to surpassing the 2050 net zero emissions target set by global governments.
