ENVIRONMENTAL, SUSTAINABILITY & GOVERNANCE POLICY
Our Commitment to the Environment with Sustainable Construction
At BHR Commercial Construction, we recognise the profound impact that the construction industry can have on the environment. What we do affects communities, and the overall well-being of society.
We take our responsibilities in these respects seriously. We’re a forward-thinking construction company, committed to upholding the highest standards of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles. Our dedication to sustainability, ethical practices, and corporate responsibility is woven into the fabric of our operations, always guiding our decision-making processes.
It’s important to us that we contribute positively to the world around us.
Here’s how we do that.
Environmental Responsibility
1. Sustainable Construction Practices:
We adopt sustainable construction practices to reduce our environmental footprint. This includes the use of eco-friendly materials, energy-efficient technologies, and waste reduction measures.
2. Green Building Certifications:
As part of our commitment to environmental stewardship, we actively pursue and promote green building certifications such as LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) for our projects.
3. Carbon Footprint Reduction:
We minimise our carbon footprint by using energy-efficient equipment and alternative energy sources. We focus on innovative solutions that contribute to a greener construction industry.
Social Responsibility
1. Health and Safety:
The well-being of all our stakeholders is paramount. Employees, partners, suppliers, and members of the public. We adhere to stringent health and safety standards to create a safe and secure working environment. A culture of care and responsibility is core to our way of working.
2. Community Engagement:
Where appropriate, we actively engage with local communities to understand their needs and concerns about our projects. We want to bring positive contributions to the communities where we work, creating enhanced quality of life and promoting social development.
3. Diversity and Inclusion:
We champion diversity and inclusion within our organisation, fostering an environment where all employees are treated with respect and dignity. Our commitment extends to promoting diversity in our supply chain and ensuring equal opportunities for everyone.
Governance Excellence
1. Ethical Business Practices:
Transparency, honesty, and integrity have always been fundamental principles for our team. They guide our interactions with every stakeholder – clients, partners, employees and suppliers. The highest ethical standards are woven into all our business dealings. We couldn’t imagine behaving in any other way.
2. Compliance with Regulations:
We diligently comply with all relevant laws, regulations, and industry standards. We have a governance framework that monitors our actions and ensures that we are accountable for them. It’s key for us to operate within the legal and ethical boundaries of the construction industry.
3. Stakeholder Accountability:
Our stakeholders are critical to our business. Whether they are employees, partners, clients, investors, suppliers or the communities we serve, we know we are accountable to them. Clear, regular communication and engagement is integral to our work practices. We have an embedded commitment to responsible business practices.
Continuous Improvement
We evaluate our ESG practices in an ongoing process. By regularly assessing our impact on the environment, society, and people, we aim to enhance our performance and contribute positively to the sustainability of the construction industry. Our governance structure supports our work in this area.
At BHR Commercial Construction, ESG is not just a set of policies; it is a guiding philosophy that shapes our identity as a responsible corporate citizen. We invite our stakeholders to join us on this journey towards a more sustainable and socially responsible future.
