A greener future
Sustainability is at the core of everything we do.
Why ESG is Important
According to United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), “the increased construction activities and urbanization will increase waste which will eventually destroy natural resources and wild life habitats over 70% of land surface from now up to 2032. Construction uses around half of natural resources that humans consume. Production and transport of building materials consumes 25 – 50 percent of all energy used (depending on the country considered). In the UK the construction industry counts for 47% of CO2 emission, of which manufacturing of construction products and materials accounts for the largest amount within the process of construction
