Aarsleff Ground Engineering Ltd and Centrum Pile Limited are committed to accountability on sustainability and understand that in the current world climate, there can be no more ‘business as usual’. We want to actively further sustainable development, adding value into the communities in which we operate and creating opportunities for all people. Operating within the construction and built environment sector, we are aware of the responsibility we have to innovate in order to reduce emissions and our overall negative impact on the world around us.
So what are we doing? Our current approach is outlined below:
- Based off our baseline year report, we’re reporting yearly against our goals and targets in order to track tangible change
- We’ve created a detailed approach plan with focused and trackable targets with areas of focus identified through stakeholder-based materiality engagement and aligned with the UN’s global Sustainable Development Goals
- We’re dedicating time and resource to embedding sustainability into our company culture, through both external and internal training, to ensure a company-wide understanding of our ability to enact change
