At Resapol, sustainability and environmental responsibility are core values that drive our business practices.
Since 1999, we have embarked on a journey to reduce our carbon footprint and minimize our environmental impact in all areas of our operations. We remain committed to this journey, continuously updating and developing our targets and aspirations as we progress.
As part of our efforts we have set goals that align with CO2nstructZero, a framework for sustainable construction. In November 2020, the Government published its 10-point plan for a Green Industrial Revolution that set out a path to Net Zero by 2050. CO2nstructZero is the construction sector’s response that sets out how the industry can collectively meet the ambitious targets. We believe that by adhering to this framework, we can help to drive positive change in the construction industry and promote a more sustainable future for generations to come. We also strive to align ourselves with the UN SDG’s.
We are pleased to announce that in the period 2023 – 2024 we reduced our Total tCO2e by 14%, a fantastic effort by the entire team to work towards our sustainability goals.
