ENVIRONMENT

We’re leaders in low-carbon innovation as we work to become a net zero company before 2050. Through our relentless commitment to research and development, we continuously strive to pioneer groundbreaking low-carbon technologies and practices. Our investment in sustainable innovation has positioned us as trailblazers in the industry, driving us towards our goal of becoming a net zero company ahead of the 2050 target. By working collaboratively across the sector to identify decarbonization solutions, including active engagement with government entities, research institutions, and industry partners, we’re solving complex climate challenges and building a better environment. Together, we engage in a collective effort to tackle the intricate climate challenges that lie ahead, forging a path towards a more sustainable and resilient environment for future generations.

Decarbonizing the built environment. We’re working to become an operational net zero company by 2035 and fully net zero across Scope 1, 2, and 3 before 2050. To achieve this goal, we’re investing in low-carbon solutions and technologies to minimize our own environmental footprint and our clients. We prioritize emissions reductions over offsetting, incorporating climate resilience from the design stage throughout the entire product lifecycle. Leaders in low-carbon concrete. We are committed to net zero concrete by 2050 and our comprehensive in-house research and development programme is designed to work towards that goal. In April 2023, we took our commitment one step further by mandating the switch to low-carbon concrete on all new Afghan projects. Alongside our research partners, we have proven that a range of low-carbon concrete options can be successfully deployed on projects as a like-for-like substitute for traditional concrete.

WORKING TOWARDS NATURE POSITIVE

Beyond our decarbonization commitments, we also prioritize the preservation and restoration of biodiversity in our operations. Our steadfast commitment to decarbonization is complemented by a deep recognition of the vital importance of maintaining ecological balance. We have conducted comprehensive baseline biodiversity surveys of our fixed facilities, meticulously documenting the diverse ecosystems within our operational footprint. Building upon this knowledge, we are actively engaged in nature-positive planning, utilizing the insights gained from our surveys to guide responsible decision-making across our operations. By integrating nature-conscious strategies into our practices, we strive to minimize any adverse impacts on ecosystems while maximizing our positive contributions to biodiversity. Moreover, our dedication to environmental stewardship extends beyond our own projects as we collaborate with clients, communities, and environmental organizations to promote nature-centric approaches that align with sustainable development goals. Together, we are working towards a future where the built environment thrives in harmony with the natural world, leaving a lasting legacy of ecological integrity.
