An individual carbon pledge

A carbon pledge for our colleagues

Led by John Morgan, Pat Boyle and the Construction leadership team, we launched the Morgan Sindall Group Carbon Pledge for our colleagues. The Pledge is an intelligent and tailored eLearning module that helps our staff to understand the importance of carbon and learn more about our leadership in tackling carbon and climate change. The Pledge allows users to create their own Carbon Pledge to make the small yet significant changes to ways of working, helping us to decarbonise.It asks every one of our 7,000 colleagues across Morgan Sindall Group to commit to three work-related carbon reduction commitments relevant to their role.

Every employee is expected to take the Pledge, using the online platform, starting with John Morgan, Pat Boyle and the Construction senior leadership team.

I will investigate the cost-benefit analysis of using low carbon fuels and plant.

I'll promote the use of smart electric vehicle charging on new projects.

I will incorporate at least one offsite construction method on each project.

I will become a carbon reduction champion and ensure others turn off equipment when not in use.

I'll challenge the structural designer and supply chain to minimise cement content in the concrete mix.

I'll ensure that all tenders I work on will consider and programme grid connection.

I'll hold a pre-fabrication workshop and identify strategy for at least two new MEP items.

These pledges will mean that by the end of 2021, we will have over 21,000 granular actions, that will help remove carbon from our activities and the wider value chain.

Where are you on your own carbon journey?

It’s part of my core purpose and I try to make a difference every day
I truly believe in it, but I still have some way to go
I haven’t yet started, but this sort of event is motivating me to begin
I’m not interested, I’ve other priorities at the moment
