Our Sustainability Commitment

As a mechanical and electrical specialist delivering complex projects, we know sustainability in our sector comes with real challenges. The wide range of products, systems and supply chain inputs we rely on makes change difficult, but not impossible.

We’re committed to making practical, measurable progress that builds on how we already work. For us, sustainability isn’t about being perfect; it’s about being honest, realistic and ambitious enough to keep improving.

Looking back

Since 2019, we have been actively measuring our Scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions, developing simple but reliable data collection processes that integrate into our day-to-day operations.

2024 – 2025

Current efforts

We are prioritising visibility across our operations and supply chain to better understand the environmental and social impacts of the materials, systems and services we use. As part of this commitment, we have obtained independent third-party verification of our 2024 and 2025 Scope 1, 2 and 3 greenhouse gas emissions inventories in accordance with ISO 14064. This marks a significant step forward in the credibility and transparency of our reporting.

Looking forward

We have published our PPN 006-aligned Carbon Reduction Plan, which outlines our Net Zero goals and the actions we are taking to achieve them.
