Sustainability Responsible Business policy: To assure a sustainable future Being socially, economically and environmentally responsible in all that we do is crucial to the success we’ve achieved to date, and to the continued sustainability of our business. Our purpose is to assure a sustainable future and our approach to Responsible Business helps us deliver this. We’ve developed our Responsible Business policy, and prioritised key issues within it, through understanding our material issues within the UN Sustainable Development Goals and by addressing how we can ensure the goals are met a local level. The Goals are a series of areas for action across all countries by 2030 and are described by the UN as the ‘blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all’. We focus on three themes: Our People, Our Partners and Our Planet. Our People Ensuring Team Robertson are safe, healthy and happy Cultivating a diverse and inclusive workforce who are treated with respect Empowering our people by providing them with the best learning opportunities and resources Our Partners Engaging communities we work in, creating social value and enabling inclusive growth Developing and supporting a responsible supply chain Delivering quality projects, satisfying and supporting our customers Our Planet Minimising our carbon footprint, utilities consumption and environmental impact Minimising our transport emissions and supporting active and sustainable travel options Driving down our raw resource consumption and maximising reuse and recycling Our 2030 strategy Our 2030 targets Moving forward, all business activity will align with our 2030 vision and ultimately assist the achievement of three key targets, one dedicated to each of our Responsible Business policy themes: Our People By 2030 we will have enhanced the lives of 10,000 people, by creating work placements and job opportunities, and by supporting apprenticeships, upskilling and new qualifications. Our Partners By 2030 we will have created £1 billion of social value, by enhancing lives and spending locally in the areas where our projects are and with social enterprises, microbusinesses and SMEs. Our Planet By 2030 we will move beyond being a carbon neutral business to become ‘climate positive’, generating zero emissions from our offices, commercial fleet and construction sites within our operational control. We will create a net biodiversity gain on our projects and become carbon positive without increasing our offsetting. Our 2030 strategy: one-year progress update Accreditation, memberships and commitments As well as our customers and our supply chain, we also work alongside a range of membership, accreditation and industry bodies to help us to remain at the forefront of new and innovative responsible business practices and to benchmark ourselves against others.
