Sustainability

	Carbon reduction Our commitment to the continued reduction in our emissions is evident by our certification to the International Standard ISO50001 Energy Management System. Year on year, we have increased the emission efficiency of our fleet through continued upgrades to Euro Emission Standards, with 85% of our fleet currently at the highest Euro VI Emission Standard. Further to delivering our own carbon and energy targets, we have also brought measurable benefits to our customers in terms of achieved energy and carbon emission reductions.
Journey to net zero Our Environmental Strategy sets the goal to achieve Net carbon emissions by 2050 and managing our emissions is now a major business focus where we will drive both reduced demand and improved carbon efficiency. This includes increasing our use of renewable and low carbon energy sources through switching to Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) and solar and battery-power alternatives.
	Our environment policy To assist with the execution of our environmental policy, our HSQE Director works closely with the Dyer & Butler Board, focusing on the environmental risk management of the projects we undertake. Every project has a site specific project management plan which incorporates all environmental matters including client specific, statutory and project specific requirements. We take great care to ensure that our work and processes have no environmental impact on the local community and its wildlife.
Key features of our commitment All timber we purchase is sourced from sustainable and traceable sources. All sites operate Site Waste Management Plans. We trial the use of new technologies and solutions such as the use of solar powered welfare units as opposed to the standard diesel units. Noise, dust and vibration monitoring and minimisation. Pollution prevention and training for all site operatives. Constant communication with local residents, businesses and stakeholders. Training of site operatives to minimise our interference on bats, newts, nesting birds, Japanese Knotweed etc.
