At The DPL Group, we recognise our responsibility to help create a more sustainable built environment. By embracinginnovative technologies, improving energy efficiency and reducing carbon emissions across our projects and operations, we are committed to supporting our clients on their journey towards net zero and delivering lasting environmental value for future generations.
Our vision is to protect the environment by promoting good sustainability practises by considering sustainabilityin all our operations, from procurement of materials, use of local supply chain and to prevent lasting damage to the environment.
We acknowledge that as an organisation, we have an impact on the environment both directly, through our business activities, and indirectly, through our supply chain and customers. DPL’s strategy is to think long term – to be able to meet the needs of people today without compromising the needs of future generations. As an organisation, DPL has committed to continuously improving and implementing new initiatives to reduce our environmental impacts and operate with an environmentally responsible approach.
As part of our ongoing commitment to both measuring and reducing our carbon footprint, we have teamed up with our long-term supply partner, Morgan Sindall, working with them and the industry Sustainability Carbon Calculator Tool to measure our current carbon footprint, identifying and driving change which is a cornerstone of our commitment to the reduction of our carbon emissions.
We continue to work with our client, Morgan Sindall, to both track and implement strategic changes to enable the reduction of our carbon usage and, with Morgan Sindall’s ongoing support, working with our wider supply chain, supporting them to use the Sustainability Carbon Calculator Tool so that they can begin their journey to both measure and achieve Scope 1 and Scope 2 carbon neutrality in line with UK targets.
At DPL, we fully committed to following UK Government requirements to work toward becoming carbon neutral ahead of the 2050 target.
In line with science based targets, we have identified the areas within the business that create the largest environmental impact; therefore, have introduced objectives to enable our carbon reduction plan.
We engage with our employees to update and expand their knowledge of the groups carbon emission objectives.
We understand that communication is vital for change so we have created 6 quantifiable decarbonisation commitments for 2025.
In 2024, we made significant progress towards a more sustainable future by:
Lower our direct business vehicle milage by encouraging vehicle sharing to reduce the number of physical miles covered. We replace older vehicles with newer, more environmentally friendly models that have a lower carbon emissions.
Invest in further renewable energy (Solar PV) across the group.
Enhancing carbon awareness and knowledge across the group through learning sessions and fostering a culture of environmental responsibility.
Continuing to incentivise and encourage the use of lower carbon omitting vehicles for site support staff.
Continue to track, report and monitor our carbon usage.
Collaborating closely with our supply chain to proactively reduce carbon emissions.
Our Environmental Policy and Action Plan describes how we will achieve our aim and objectives we strive for. Our Environmental policy applies to all of our operations including Management, Office Services and Site Operations.
DPL Group has overall responsibility for ensuring that sufficient resources are made available to enable the business to achieve its environmental objectives and targets, and that the policy is implemented by all our staff.
