At CRL, sustainability is embedded in how we operate and how we approach our projects.

It is not treated as a standalone objective, but as a fundamental principle that guides our decisions, delivery methods, and long-term strategy.

Our focus is on reducing environmental impact while maintaining the highest standards of quality, ensuring that the work we deliver today supports a more sustainable future.

 

Recognised Progress
in Carbon Reduction

We are proud to have achieved PAS 2080 certification, the industry-leading standard for carbon management in infrastructure, awarded by NQA. This recognition reflects our structured approach to managing and reducing carbon across our operations and projects.

Over the past year, we have made tangible progress, including transitioning plant to Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO), introducing EV charging infrastructure across our offices, and achieving significant reductions in both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. Alongside these improvements, our 70th anniversary milestone has been marked by initiatives such as tree planting across our sites, reinforcing our ongoing commitment to responsible environmental stewardship.

Advancing Net Zero
Strategy for
the Future

Looking ahead, we remain focused on accelerating our progress towards Net Zero, with clear targets set for Scope 1 and 2 emissions reductions. Our strategy includes continued investment in renewable energy solutions such as solar PV, further reductions in waste and single-use materials, and deeper collaboration with our supply chain to improve sustainability performance across all levels of delivery.

As we continue to evolve, sustainability will remain central to how we operate, ensuring that every project contributes positively to both environmental outcomes and long-term value for our clients and communities.

 
Leading the Way to
Carbon-Zero
Highways

Our commitment to environmental stewardship is embedded in how we operate, with the adoption of advanced solar-powered welfare units forming a key step in reducing our carbon footprint.

By harnessing renewable energy through high-performance solar arrays and battery storage, we significantly cut fuel consumption, emissions, and noise across our sites. Minimising generator reliance allows us to actively support carbon reduction and clean air targets, while maintaining high-quality welfare standards.

Enhanced by energy-efficient design features and smart monitoring technology, these units reflect our proactive approach to delivering safer, cleaner, and more sustainable highways operations.
