We recognise the importance of sustainability and take efforts from the design stage to implement environmentally-friendly practices whenever possible. From our materials to our waste management, discover our environmental policies below.
Reducing C02
To reduce the amount of Co2 we produce we encourage all employees to partake in the ‘Cycle to Work’ scheme.
We are also trialling hybrid plant and equipment on site which will also reduce noise. All developments come with a rooftop garden to replace the trees that are cut down during build.
Energy
We have recently been focusing our attention on renewable energy and the benefits its has not only to our residents, but also to the environment as well. That’s why we have installed our first solar panel field at Sky Gardens in Castlefield!
Materials
Reusable materials are really beneficial to the environment so we have introduced reusable water bottles to all employees at DeTrafford. We have also started using a supplier of milk who uses reusable milk bottles.
As a company who uses a lot of paper we have introduced recycled paper to our welcome packs with plans to use recycled paper throughout the company.
Waste Management
We recycle 95% of our waste which comes from the office and all construction sites. Cut-off racks have also been installed on site for subcontractors to discard of waste that can be reused, helping to minimise waste going to landfill.
