The Birth of
‘Sites of the Future’

We are conscious of the impact our work has on the environment and local communities, therefore we are doing everything we can to reduce this.

Alongside our alliance partners, we have taken on the challenge of introducing sustainable measures to our sites – embracing solar and battery powered energy, sourcing biodegradable products and practicing local sourcing, to improve the sustainability of our works and reduce our carbon footprint. In some cases, we have achieved a 97% diesel-free operation.
