Being a responsible business
Our vision is to create connected, sustainable infrastructure that enables people and the planet to thrive.
Infrastructure is facing an enormous change, with increasing pressure building around
the environmental and social agenda. This creates huge opportunity to maximise on our sustainable and responsible business commitments.
The environment is a key focus, and we continue to deliver environmental benefits both within the Group and for our customers.
- In 2022 we reduced our total emissions by 15%. But this is just the start.
- We will continue to implement our Climate Change Action Plan to ensure we meet net zero carbon by 2035 at the latest target. To make sure we focus our efforts effectively, we have submitted our actions and reduction target outlined in our Climate Change Action.
- Plan to the Science-Based Target Initiative and await endorsement. We have absolute greenhouse gas emissions as one of our key non-financial performance indicators. However, as much as we grow as a business we will continue to maintain a low carbon approach by integrating innovation, using our sustainability expertise, and working collaboratively to exceed industry standards.
- Our customers increasingly value our ability to integrate our environmental capabilities; project examples include providing diesel-free sites for HS2, enhancing biodiversity on the M6 and exploring opportunities to use hydrogen.
