Sustainability

At Genuit we’re in the business of sustainability. Expectations of the built environment to solve the urgent challenges facing our infrastructure, buildings, communities, and planet have never been greater.

Across the Group we’re finding solutions for these challenges we are faced with: creating a more resilient business, society and planet. We have a role to play in making the built environment more sustainable. We do this by becoming a sustainable, low-carbon business ourselves as well as delivering sustainable solutions at scale. 

• We were one of the first organisations within our industry to have verified science-based decarbonisation targets with the Science Based Targets Initiative
• A have the London Stock Exchange Green Mark, which means we have been independently verified by the LSE and awarded the Mark for having over 50% of our revenue linked to the global green economy (climate change mitigation and adaptation)
• We are a Pledge to Net-Zero signatory, committing us to net-zero GHG emissions by 2050
• We have reduced our carbon impact (scope 1 and 2 by around 50% since 2019), and some of the highlights here are 94% sourcing of renewable energy, HVO (biodiesel) usage in a number of our HGVs, an electric company car scheme and effective energy management systems such as ISO50001
• The 83% number at the bottom of the page is wrong, our Group number is around 49%. It is only 83% when talking specifically around Polypipe Civils.- 49% is still very impressive considering the number of materials and associated volumes
• We also have a number of Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) which showcase our ambition to be the low carbon supplier of choice to our customers

Tackling Climate Change

We are committed to reducing the carbon footprint of our operations and products by reducing our carbon emissions, without resorting to carbon offsetting. We also engage with our customers to look at ways to reduce the carbon impact of the construction processes in which we are involved.

Developing Sustainable Solutions

We recognise that the challenges faced within the built environment are changing and require new solutions. Innovation is engrained in our culture, and is also key to the resilience of the business. We will continue to lead through innovation, and look to encompass digital capability in the solutions we develop.

Advancing the Circular Economy

We want to lead the industry in recycling and elimination of waste. It is our ambition to increase our use of recycled materials to its maximum permitted threshold while pushing for those boundaries to be extended, and to become a zero-to-landfill operation.

You may already know that many of our products are made from recycled materials, but have you ever wondered how much of our overall material comes from recycled sources? 83% of the materials that went into our products in 2023 were from recycled sources.
