Reducing our environmental footprint Environmental
We play a crucial role in the energy transition, digital, and utilities infrastructure markets, driving the shift towards a low‑carbon, resource‑efficient future. Our commitment extends to mitigating our own environmental impacts while aiding our clients on their path to net zero. Our holistic, end-to-end services enable us to design and implement sustainable solutions throughout the asset lifecycle. This includes choosing lower-carbon materials, optimising route planning to reduce travel distances, providing solar-powered welfare units, minimising landfill waste, and maximising recycling efforts. Additionally, we are expanding our footprint in the renewable energy and regulated power sectors, focusing on battery energy storage systems (BESS), solar and wind farms, electric vehicle (EV) charging networks and network upgrades.
