We’re a part of constructing the landscape of tomorrow which means we have an important role in ensuring our legacy is a positive one. We work within all areas of ESG, ensuring a holistic approach to sustainable development is part of the fabric of our business and its legacy.

Sustainability work implements the same mindset we apply to all our work - creating value. With a focus on operational excellence strengthened by our core values of Life & Health, Trust, and Responsibility, embedded in our daily processes is a strive to do more, to create value and mitigate damage. We know that with this mindset being lived by our people every day and backed up by our leadership teams, we will continue to work towards a more sustainable business.

Our Data
​

We carried out our first footprint exercise in 2022, looking back at our financial year 2020-21. Every year since then, we’ve produced a robust sustainability report, based on the principles outlined in the Global Reporting Index methodology. Our emissions footprint covers all three scopes, with seven scope 3 categories covered including Purchased Goods and Services, and is calculated in line with ISO 14064 and the Greenhouse Gas Protocol. Discover more about our footprint and our approach to sustainability in our reports. 

​

We know how important robust systems are to achieving sustainability accreditations for your projects, which is why we’re proud to be able to offer a third party verified EPD for our precast concrete piles. We also embed rigorous data validation processes and are delighted to be verified to ISO 14064-1 as a part of Achilles’ Carbon Reduce programme.
