Environmental, Social and Governance
Our commitment to ESG
As an organisation honesty, integrity and compassion are at the heart of everything we do. We aim to do the right thing. Always.
We are guided and driven by creating a positive, long-lasting impact regionally and nationally on the environment. Sustainability is crucial to how we operate as a business and we are committed to accelerating the necessary changes to do the right thing for our people, stakeholders and the developments we manage.
We view sustainability as a spectrum – not just environmentally but across everything we do, including our ESG performance. We offer complete transparency when it comes to diversity, equality, carbon emissions and sustainability and behave ethically and professionally at all times.
Our approach to ESG
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) are not only core beliefs of Trustgreen but are central pillars to our business. CSR is a form of self-regulation in business which looks to contribute to society via ethical practices – it is akin to a company’s conscience. ESG can be summed up as a set of standards measuring a business’s impact on society, the environment, and how transparent and accountable that business is.
Energy consumption and carbon management
Trustgreen is not only a verified carbon neutral organisation, but we are actively working with the companies within our supply chains to assist them with their journeys too.Pollution Control – All of our activities have control measures in place that minimise the risk of pollution. To date we have had zero environmental incidents on any of our sites or those of our clients.
Waste management
We are currently a paper-light organisation with aspirations to become paperless as soon as possible. Where feasible onsite waste arising from our operations are repurposed such as creating log piles from fallen trees. The waste hierarchy is meticulously adhered to with superfluous equipment being donated to dedicate organisations with all sites working towards the goal of zero to landfill.
