Building on our five total commitments we've developed a Responsible Business Plan to define how we put these commitments in to place.
Our objectives are aligned to the UN Sustainable Development Goals and because of this, our key objectives are often the key drivers for our customers and stakeholders too. The outcomes from the plan will feed directly into positive sustainability and social value achievements in the communities we work.
Our five total commitments:
Decarbonising Communities is fundamentally about leaving a climate positive impact on the environment.
It is our unique approach designed to support customers in achieve their environmental ambitions and help meet the company's own target of Net Zero Carbon by 2030. Click below to read the detail behind the strategy:
The approach will harness the combined expertise of our customers, employees and supply chain partners to change the way buildings are designed and constructed, in order to reduce the amount of carbon.
Crucially, this will include a focus on reducing carbon emissions within their supply chain and applying science-based benchmarks to reduce whole life carbon on projects, in order to meet the 1.5 degree global warming target, alongside UK government targets.
Underpinning Decarbonising Communities is CarboniCa, an innovative carbon calculation tool.
This allows project teams to work with customers to estimate, manage and reduce whole life carbon emissions through the design, construction and entire lifecycle of an asset.
Aligned to the UK Green Building Council framework for net zero buildings and the aims of the Construction Playbook, it will help upskill and empower clients to make environmentally friendly decisions based on meaningful and robust data.

On every project, we promise to plan for, deliver and measure the social value investment a project creates.
At the beginning of your scheme, our social value manager will support our project teams with a social value toolkit, starting with the collaborative development of a social value charter for the project.
Upon completion, social value is monetised by using Morgan Sindall Group's Social Value Bank. This gives each customer a detailed report evidencing the outcomes from the project.

*stats from 2020-2021
Working in partnership with the Blenheim Estate and in conjunction with Grown in Britain we are creating nine new woodlands, planting more than a quarter of a million trees to transform land as part of an ambitious series of sustainability initiatives.
This project is the first scheme planted under the Forest Canopy Foundation (FCF) - a not-for-profit committed to demonstrating technical rigour and quality in woodland creation.
Far from a quick win, this will be a legacy project which, while it will have immediate impact in terms of biodiversity, soil erosion prevention and cleaner water, will sequester 22,000 tonnes of carbon across a quarter of a century.
270,000 trees
22,000 tons carbon sequestered
138 hectares
