We are helping our clients make informed, lower carbon decisions and we know it starts by getting our own data right.

In 2025, we moved decisively from sustainability ambition to structured, evidence-led action. Many of our projects are designed and delivered in the context of de-carbonisation and our building services, planned preventative maintenance departments all focus on managing assets in a sustainable way.

In recent years, our focus has been on building the systems, data quality and governance needed to credibly measure and reduce our environmental impact which helps in strengthening the commitments set out in our 5-year business plan and our long term Net Zero pathway.

Governance and Accountability

Our environmental programme is guided by our ESG Strategy, Net Zero Transition Plan and Carbon Reduction Plan. Together these documents establish our pathway to Net Zero by 2050, support climate risk management and drive continual environmental improvement. Our approach:

  • ESG is overseen by the Board.
  • Performance is reviewed through management review processes.
  • ESG risks are integrated into the company risk management framework.
  • ESG objectives are managed through the ISO14001-certified IMS.
  • Annual performance is reported to senior management and directors.

Climate Risk and Resilience

Climate-related risks and opportunities are reviewed through our IMS, Environmental Aspects and Impacts Register, risk management processes and Net Zero Transition Plan. This helps us assess the potential impact of changing regulations, severe weather, supply chain disruption and resource availability on our operations and long-term business resilience.

Responsible Procurement and Supply Chain

In line with our business plan, we have focussed on developing our supply chain through:

  • Supplier Code of Conduct.
  • Sustainable procurement principles.
  • Scope 3 emissions programme.
  • Supplier engagement strategy.
  • Future SBTi-aligned supplier participation ambitions.

How We Identify ESG Priorities

Our approach is informed by:

Employees

Communities

Biodiversity

Working to Protect and Enhance Nature Through Better Engineering Decisions

  • Protection of habitats.
  • Responsible site practices.
  • Urban biodiversity considerations.

We view ESG as a core element of business resilience. Environmental performance, social value and effective governance are integrated into decision-making, risk management and operational delivery to support long-term sustainable growth.
