We have set a target to bet net zero carbon across Scopes 1 and 2 by 2030, and across all scopes by 2050 in line with the 1.5-degree science-based pathway. A key focus for us will be to increase our carbon reporting scopes and develop a procurement guide, so that the materials we use in our projects are as low-carbon and sustainable as feasible.

Our mission is to lead the construction and project management sector towards a sustainable and responsible future. We are committed to delivering excellence through innovative and ethical practices, reducing our environmental footprint, and enhancing the wellbeing of our employees and communities.

We align with SDG 11 by focusing on designing and managing buildings and communities that are inclusive, safe, and sustainable. Our approach includes integrating green spaces, enhancing energy efficiency, and improving the overall environmental performance of urban developments. We work closely with stakeholders to ensure our projects meet the needs of the communities they serve, prioritising accessibility and resilience against environmental and social challenges.

Our strategies include promoting the use of recycled and circular materials, implementing waste reduction initiatives, and optimising resource efficiency in every aspect of our business. By encouraging responsible consumption and production patterns, we aim to lead by example and support our clients and partners in their own sustainability journeys, fostering a circular economy. We promote Whole Life Carbon Assessments on all of our projects and advise our clients on the importance of securing an understanding of the baseline, so that appropriate improvements can be made at early stages.

PBC is committed to tackling climate change. We’ve taken steps like achieving ISO 14001:2015 certification for our environmental management and working to cut down on waste, energy use, and carbon emissions. Plus, we’re offsetting our carbon footprint by supporting projects that reduce emissions globally, including offsetting 26 tonnes of CO2 in 2024. We’re continuously looking for ways to lessen our impact on the planet and contribute to a more sustainable future.
