Construction company Henry Brothers<\/a>, named Northern Ireland\u2019s Responsible Business of the Year, has announced its Journey to Net Zero strategy to achieve zero carbon emissions by 2050<\/h2>\n

Henry Brothers is already building a new net carbon zero Nursery and Forest School for Staffordshire University and a \u00a39m sustainable development at Loughborough University<\/a>, and aims to reduce total greenhouse gasses emissions by 2% each year for the next nine years and to halve CO2 emissions by 2030.<\/p>\n

The Journey to Net Zero strategy will be achieved through initiatives such as implementing 100% hybrid and electric cars by 2025, utilising 100% eco-cabins on sites by 2025, and enhancing its biodiversity by 2% a year.<\/p>\n

\u2018Our most significant commitment to date\u2019<\/h3>\n

Ian Henry, CSR director at Henry Brothers, said: \u201cSustainability has been at the heart of our operations for over two decades with eco-friendly practices adopted since the 1990s and progress recorded since 2014.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe outcomes of our sustainability initiatives to date \u2013 which include developing the Henry Brothers Nature Reserve, creating the Sustainability Professionals Forum, and involvement with tree planting schemes \u2013 have been excellent, but the launch of our Net Zero Strategy is certainly our most significant commitment to date.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt comes at a time where businesses and individuals have more of a responsibility than ever before to change our behaviour and protect our environment.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur Journey to Net Zero outlines exactly how we will achieve this ambitious goal by working with our employees, clients and partners to achieve a sustainable future that builds upon the extensive foundations already in place.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Journey to Net Zero Strategy will review and implement new practices around fuel, gas, car mileage, electricity use, waste transport, air mileage, and delivery mileage carbon.<\/p>\n

The reduction in each of these areas will be achieved through seven key ventures, which include:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Reducing operational impact<\/li>\n
  2. A Sustainability Professionals Forum<\/li>\n
  3. Carbon literacy training<\/li>\n
  4. Reduction in the reliance of fuel<\/li>\n
  5. An ongoing Research and Development programme with Queen\u2019s University<\/li>\n
  6. Tree planting schemes<\/li>\n
  7. Transparent reporting and disclosure<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \u2018Delivering construction projects that also benefit the environment\u2019<\/h3>\n

    Henry continued: \u201cThis journey comes with significant investments of time and money which will be used in part to deliver carbon literacy training for all of our employees, maintain our environmental learning programme, and research new methods of introducing renewable electric into our projects and working.<\/p>\n

    \u201cThe buildings we are currently constructing will be in place in 50 years so sustainable construction<\/a> is required now to ensure these structures are suitable long into the future. Our work has always been of the highest calibre, and we are delighted when local communities directly benefit from it, but to now deliver construction projects that also benefit the environment is inspiring.<\/p>\n

    \u201cFor construction to have a real impact, sustainability needs to be a vital element at all levels of the supply chain.<\/a><\/p>\n

    \u201cOur partnerships with our subcontractors and suppliers are crucial to ensuring the success of our Journey to Net Zero and we look forward to working together to ensure responsible construction.\u201d<\/p>\n
