D Morgan Climate Plan Policy and
– Roadmap to decarbonise our business
8. Our business was founded in 1950.
Because of the scale of our activities we have developed a large Central Depot for the maintenance
/ management of construction plant, equipment & HGV vehicles, cars & vans.
There is extensive parking, office accommodation, workshops on a 3.1 hectare site
plus an adjoining 21 hectares of farmland in our ownership.
Since 2011 we have been re-wilding this farmland, increasing biodiversity creating habitats,
planting woodland, as part of our longstanding commitment to the environment
achieving Carbon Offsetting / Carbon Neutrality from our tree planting.
Having measured, managed & reduced emissions & by planting additional trees in 2021 / 22
we will complete the Offset of our Carbon emissions. We will be Carbon Neutral in 2025.
9. In 2025 we will have achieved a Carbon Neutral footprint
with our own direct activities Offset by our tree planting.
What does a Carbon Neutral footprint mean for us ?
It’s planting trees to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere
by the same amount as we produce…
…as we continue with our journey… to decarbonise our business.
10. In 2035 or earlier we will have decarbonised our business
achieving Net Zero Emissions – from our direct activities – having measured, managed
& reduced emissions, residual emissions will be mitigated through Offsetting.
11. In 2040 or earlier we will achieve National Highways Plan for Net Zero Emissions
in highway construction & maintenance with equivalent in Wales & in Scotland.
12. In 2050 we will be legally compliant with the UK’s Climate Change Act 2008
& the UK’s Climate Plan, residual emissions will be mitigated through Offsetting.
We will have decarbonised our business in Partnership with our Supply Chain & Clients.
This means our business trading activities – both direct activities & indirect –
achieve Net Zero Emissions.
