We are determined to drive up environmental standards within the construction industry.
Our objectives include:
Reducing construction and demolition excavation waste
Promoting the use of recycled materials
Reducing carbon emissions
Ensuring products utilised in construction are responsibly sourced
Investing in beneficial technologies
Engineering for sustainability
Controlling and measuring our environmental impact
Demonstrating our commitment to sustainability to our clients
We are engaged with the services of OHES Environmental, the UK’s leading environmental risk reduction consultancy, to be our dedicated emergency response provider. In the unlikely event of a site suffering a fuel oil or chemical spill we are able to call on OHES 24/7 and they will immediately mobilise an incident response team to triage and clean up the spill. However, we want to ensure that we subscribe to the very best practice in the sector so we also ask OHES to train our teams in the management of a spill; they also deployed appropriate spill kits while conducting a full audit of some of our own sites to ensure we are fully compliant. OHES are available to support us if we encounter contaminated land, invasive vegetation and protected species on any of our sites.
Our attention to detail in the increasingly important environmental sector, is just another example of O’Keefe leading the market.
