Atmospheric impacts

Atmospheric emissions from our activities can have local and global impacts. On a local level emissions such as dust or noise can cause a nuisance to our neighbours and severe cases may lead to pollution and health problems. On a global scale the reliance on fossil fuels leads to the production of ever increasing amounts of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide (CO2), that in turn contributes to climate change. There are three main sources of emissions and we are committed to reducing our impact in all of them:

1. Local emissions from projects (e.g. dust emissions)
2. Use of energy in our offices and projects
3. Use of our transport fleet
