Environment

Reducing our impact on the environment is central to our everyday activities. As a matter of course we are continually finding new ways to reduce energy; minimise waste; recycle materials; source responsibly; avoid pollution, curtail noise and dust and employ sustainable materials in building design.

Sustainability & Waste Reduction

  • Our ISO 14001 accreditation has been in place for over 10 years and covers all business operations
  • We successfully work with clients to achieve Breeam ‘excellent’ and ‘very good’ ratings and was the first contractor in Romania to achieve a Breeam ‘very good’ rating on the refurbishment of AIG offices
  • We have a dedicated Sustainability Manager and environmental team
  • We develop site waste management plans for all projects through the BRE Smartwaste system
  • All the timber we use is specified from legal and a sustainable chain of custody sources
  • We are signatories to the Halving waste to landfill commitment
  • Last year’s recycling statistics for our fit out projects achieved an average of 97%, exceeding our target of 95% recycling rates

Carbon emissions & energy efficiency

We play our part in reducing carbon emissions to help tackle climate change.

  • We are currently investigating energy efficiencies in our offices to include upgrading to more efficient boilers, installing energy efficient lighting, reducing our travel and implementing a cycle to work scheme
  • Our Sustainability Manager helps our clients to align their sustainability goals to current industry best practice. Low carbon consultants design and in house energy assessor- qualified to provide expert advice on carbon minimisation in buildings during design or refurbishment
  • We have successfully worked with clients and the Carbon Trust to deliver significant carbon and cost savings
  • For ASDA, we produced thermal modelling to identify leaks and protect against significant energy loss
  • When we refurbish buildings or develop new ones, we consider water-efficiency measures e.g. reusing water (for example, rainwater)
