CONTACT US ABOUT US SERVICES NEWS INSIGHTS CAREERS "There is no Planet B" In 2020, Wates became one of the first organisations in our sector to commit to zero carbon from our operations by 2025. In the interim, we have been working across all areas of our business, ‘changing our habits’ and adapting the way we deliver projects and work with our customers to help them meet their own carbon reduction goals. In this documentary, recorded during October and November 2021, we examine four projects around the country, where our teams are designing, constructing and maintaining buildings in response to the challenge of climate change. Together, they provide a small snapshot of some of the work we’re doing to create more positive environmental impacts.
