This month, the EKFB team launched ‘Green EKFB’, an initiative inspired by our people’s passion for the environment.
EKFB is investing in our planet:
• Creating a lasting legacy project
• Providing a low carbon, sustainable mode of transport for many
• Project is providing jobs to local communities
• Habitat creation
• Aim for biodiversity gain
EKFBs Sustainability Lead, Rachel Riley, comments: “We are aware we have the opportunity to make a real positive impact on our planet and this propels the way in which we think about how all our business decisions impact the planet from materials used, to how to reduce embedded carbon in all our operating activities, not just our construction projects.”
