Sustainability

Pioneering specialist solutions for complex project environments

We work closely with our affiliate company QSustain who are at the forefront of sustainable innovation, specialising in capturing and quantifying carbon emissions. Our mission is to help organisations effectively track and manage their greenhouse gas emissions, empowering them to make informed decisions that prioritise sustainability.

Comprehensive carbon footprint analysis

We employ internationally recognised methodologies and tools to calculate carbon footprints across Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. Our approach takes into account various factors, including:

• Energy consumption: Understanding how energy usage contributes to overall emissions.
• Transportation: Analysing the emissions associated with the movement of goods and personnel.
• Waste generation: Evaluating the environmental impact of waste produced during operations.
• Supply chain activities: Identifying emissions throughout the supply chain to ensure comprehensive carbon accounting.

By considering these elements, we help businesses identify their whole life carbon emissions and develop targeted strategies for reduction.

Strategic carbon management

Our comprehensive approach to carbon management includes:

• Development of carbon reduction strategies: We work closely with clients to create tailored strategies that align with their sustainability goals.
• Setting emission reduction targets: Establishing measurable and achievable targets to track progress effectively.
• Implementing mitigation measures: Identifying and prioritising actions to reduce emissions based on data analysis and identified hotspots.

By empowering businesses to analyse emissions data, we enable them to reduce their carbon footprint, comply with regulatory requirements, and demonstrate environmental leadership.

Innovative solutions for the construction industry

In response to the urgent need to address embodied carbon emissions in the construction industry, we have developed a groundbreaking digital tool that offers a comprehensive solution for mitigating environmental impacts throughout the entire build process. Key features of this tool include:

• Integrated data management: The tool consolidates data from various sources, including material procurement, transportation, machinery use, and waste generation, allowing for a holistic view of emissions.
• Accurate calculation of embodied carbon emissions: It enables companies to calculate and monitor embodied carbon emissions at each stage of a construction project, ensuring that sustainability is integrated into every phase.
• Real-time data and analysis: The tool features an easy-to-read dashboard that provides real-time insights, allowing companies to make informed decisions that prioritise sustainability and minimise carbon emissions.
