PBC ESG Project

Responsible Leadership

Buildings account for approximately 25% of the UK’s total greenhouse gas emissions. At PBC, we believe that true leadership extends beyond delivering exceptional projects; it involves taking responsibility for our environmental footprint, fostering an inclusive and supportive workplace, and maintaining the highest standards of governance.

ESG Reporting and Accountability

As a business, we have been reporting our carbon footprint since 2021. In 2024, we are proud to have released our first public ESG Report. The report highlights our commitment to integrating environmental, social, and governance principles into the core of our operations. As a leading consultancy in the construction and project management sector, we recognise the importance of our role in driving sustainable practices and fostering positive change.

We invite you to explore our report and join us on our ESG journey. Together, we can build a more sustainable and equitable future for all.

Targets and Principles

Our Net Zero Target

Our Mission

Our mission is to lead the construction and project management sector towards a sustainable and responsible future. We are committed to delivering excellence through innovative and ethical practices, reducing our environmental footprint, and enhancing the wellbeing of our employees and communities. By fostering strong governance and prioritising the balance between people, planet, and prosperity, we strive to create lasting value for our clients and society.

Our Vision

PBC envisions a construction sector that strikes a balance between people, planet, and governance. We aim to lead the industry by integrating ESG principles into every aspect of our work, from reducing environmental impacts and promoting sustainable building practices to ensuring ethical business conduct and fostering inclusive workplaces. Our vision is to create a construction industry that not only builds resilient and efficient infrastructure but also supports the well-being of communities and upholds strong governance standards, contributing to a sustainable future for all.

Our Sustainable Development Goals

PBC aligns its ESG efforts with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which provide a framework for building a more sustainable and equitable future. Our ESG strategy supports these global goals by focusing on reducing our environmental impact, promoting inclusivity, and upholding strong governance. We have identified the following SDG’s as core target areas, where we can have the greatest impact.

Affordable and Clean Energy

At PBC, our commitment to sustainability includes a strong focus on promoting energy efficiency and the use of renewable energy sources in all our projects. We align with SDG 7 by aiming to reduce our carbon footprint through the implementation of energy-efficient solutions, such as LED lighting, energy management systems, and the integration of renewable energy technologies like solar panels wherever feasible. Our goal is to achieve a significant reduction in energy consumption across our operations and projects, as well as to support our clients in their journey towards more sustainable energy use.

Decent Work and Economic Growth

We are dedicated to fostering a workplace environment that promotes decent work conditions, fair wages, and equal opportunities for all employees. Our business practices are built on a foundation of ethical standards and a commitment to diversity and inclusion, as outlined in our Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion Policy. We align with SDG 8 by creating a supportive and inclusive workplace where every team member is encouraged to reach their full potential. Our approach includes providing ongoing training and development opportunities, ensuring health and safety standards are met, and promoting work-life balance.

Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure

PBC is committed to advancing sustainable infrastructure development and fostering innovation. Our alignment with SDG 9 is evident in our efforts to incorporate resilient and eco-friendly designs in our projects, leveraging the latest technological advancements to improve efficiency and reduce environmental impact. We prioritise the use of sustainable materials, innovative construction techniques, and smart building solutions to enhance the performance and sustainability of the infrastructure we develop. Our staff are trained in innovative strategies and we have a robust CPD programme in place, to ensure that we remain informed as to the latest advancements.

Sustainable Cities and Communities

We align with SDG 11 by focusing on designing and managing buildings and communities that are inclusive, safe, and sustainable. Our approach includes integrating green spaces, enhancing energy efficiency, and improving the overall environmental performance of urban developments. We work closely with stakeholders to ensure our projects meet the needs of the communities they serve, prioritising accessibility and resilience against environmental and social challenges.

Responsible Consumption and Production

Our strategies include promoting the use of recycled and circular materials, implementing waste reduction initiatives, and optimising resource efficiency in every aspect of our business. By encouraging responsible consumption and production patterns, we aim to lead by example and support our clients and partners in their own sustainability journeys, fostering a circular economy. We promote Whole Life Carbon Assessments on all of our projects and advise our clients on the importance of securing an understanding of the baseline, so that appropriate improvements can be made at early stages.

Climate Action

PBC is committed to tackling climate change. We’ve taken steps like achieving ISO 14001:2015 certification for our environmental management and working to cut down on waste, energy use, and carbon emissions. Plus, we’re offsetting our carbon footprint by supporting projects that reduce emissions globally, including offsetting 26 tonnes of CO2 in 2024. We’re continuously looking for ways to lessen our impact on the planet and contribute to a more sustainable future.

Delivering Sustainable Projects

At PBC, we secure a clear Sustainability Brief from our clients at project inception. We have a wide network of experienced designers and construction partners, and we tailor our recommendations according to the project requirements.

Our team understands the importance of passive and active design considerations from an early stage, and we actively encourage the use of Whole Life Carbon Assessments to provide science-based context to investment decisions.

Retrofit

We are committed to minimising our impact on the environment and helping our clients do the same. Creating a more sustainable built environment in the UK requires a comprehensive set of strategies designed to reduce carbon emission.

Our Retrofit services offer innovative and strategic solutions for building maintenance and improvements, aligning with reducing carbon emissions and in turn, meeting Net Zero Targets.
