Our responsibilities
We take our responsibilities towards our people, our customers, the communities in which we work and the environment seriously. The 3Ps – People, Planet, Prosperity – make up our sustainability framework and set out our vision for the future.
Follow this link to read more about the 3Ps.
Health and safety
The health and safety of those who work on our projects is our priority. Within the 3Ps, under People, one of our objectives is to ensure everyone returns home safe which is why we’re committed to providing a safe working environment, whether it’s on site on in the office. Our high standards of health and safety are recognised by PQS and certification to ISO 45001:2018 Health & Safety Management Systems.
Environment
Our aim is to conduct business in an environmentally responsible way. We continually look at ways to minimise any negative impact our activities may have on the environment, managing our carbon footprint as well as embracing lifecycle thinking. In 2016 we became one of the first groundworks and civil engineering companies in the UK to transition to ISO 14001:2015, the newly revised international standard for Environmental Management Systems.
Quality
In 2016 we became one of the first groundworks and civil engineering companies in the UK to transition to ISO 9001:2015, the newly revised international standard for Quality Management Systems. We adopt continuous improvement principles for all aspects of our business including lean thinking, customer collaboration, waste elimination, and project management techniques.
Energy
We are committed to improving our energy performance and have ISO 50001:2011 Energy Management Systems certification. Our net zero target is 2050, in line with the construction industry target.
During 2016 our carbon footprint was mapped as part of the Carbon Trust Standard for Supply Chain in collaboration with Willmott Dixon. This exercise provided us with a baseline energy review which we are using to prioritise energy improvement objectives going forward.
Training and development
We value our people that’s why we invest in training and development to ensure they’re the best at what they do. As a Chartered Building Company, we have a Training Partnership with the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB.)
Our minimum training requirements are aligned with Build UK standards for all roles and are often higher than industry requirements. We also have a robust annual review process which provides staff an opportunity to discuss progress and future goals.
Sustainability
Our 3Ps sustainability framework is a natural progression from our management system implementation and ISO certifications. This framework highlights our commitment to each of these areas.
We work closely with our customers to support their environmental initiatives such as sourcing local labour and materials. This includes commitments to partnering with suppliers, innovation, and the purchase and use of environmentally friendly materials.
Community
Our commitment to people and communities remains a core value, and we actively support social value initiatives, charitable causes and community projects across the UK. This includes our involvement in apprenticeships and traineeships, prison-leaver recruitment, education engagement, local employment opportunities, volunteering, sponsorships, and charitable donations.
Equal opportunities
With our guiding principle of integrity, we endeavour to eliminate discrimination of any sort and actively promote diversity in the workplace in accordance with the Equality Act 2010. Our objective is to ensure that individuals are selected, promoted and otherwise treated soley on the basis of their relevant aptitudes, skills and abilities.
Modern slavery
We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business relationships to ensure that there is no modern slavery or human trafficking taking place in our supply chains or in any part of our business. Click here to read our Modern Slavery Statement.
