Environment & Climate Change
At Galliford Try we acknowledge that protection of the environment and climate change are amongst the greatest challenges we face, both as a society and a business. We recognise that we have a key part to play through:
- Minimising the environmental impact and carbon footprint of our operations.
- The long-term sustainability of the products and services we provide.
The Group completed its third annual submission to the Carbon Disclosure Project, and CO2 emissions further reduced to 44,596 tCO2 in 2010 (2009: 48,989). The emissions intensity measure (as £100,000 of turnover) reduced from 3.74 to 3.63 over the same period. A number of initiatives, to reduce average fleet emissions, energy saving practices for offices, the use of a new range of eco-work cabins and a consolidation of energy procurement practices, are all being developed under the remit of a new Group Carbon Task Force to further improve related Group performance.
The Task Force will primarily be implementing a new strategy to reduce Group carbon emissions per unit of turnover by 15% by the end of 2013. The Group also continues to develop its carbon data collection systems with the intention of meeting any future extension of the Environment Agency’s Carbon Reduction Commitment.
