Environmental Respect
and Responsibility for
Future Generations
In line with several of our client’s carbon net-zero ambitions, M Group Services operating
businesses Morrison Energy Services, Morrison Data Services and KH Engineering Services
have been awarded contracts to fit Electric Vehicle Charging Points. With M Group Services
Plant & Fleet Solutions adding a range of hybrid and electric vehicles to their fleet, they have
signed up as a member of the Climate Group’s EV100, working to transition our core fleet
of over 8,000 vehicles to electric by 2030, as well as rolling out lower GHG emission fuels to
their service offering, such as Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO). M Group Services is showing
a clear commitment to help underpin the UK’s move towards net-zero by 2050, as well as
working towards the Group’s commitment to achieving a 50% reduction by 2030.
From the UK’s busiest railway lines, airports and
highways to the most remote rural areas, our people
are working hard to sustainably deliver essential
infrastructure services in every environment.
As a Group, we understand our legal and ethical obligations to
minimise the environmental impact of our works. Promoting good
environmental practice across our operations, we continually
look to develop and introduce sustainable processes and
behaviours across each operating business, as well as their
clients and supply chains.
A number of our businesses are ISO: 14001:2015 certified,
with an environmental management system governing their
processes that is used to drive continued improvements in
environmental performance across their operations.
A long-term area of focus is the reduction of our carbon
emissions. As a participant in CarbonReduce (previously called
Certified Emissions Measurement and Reduction Scheme), we
monitor, measure and seek to minimise our carbon footprint. Our
measurements provide an externally verified carbon emission
measurement. Our Water, Energy and Telecom Divisions are
certificated for ISO: 14064 GHG verification
through CarbonReduce.
In 2021 we signed up to the Science Based Targets Initiative
(SBTi) with a commitment to control our Greenhouse Gas (GHG)
emissions in line with no more than a 1.5ºC increase in global
temperatures. In April 2022 were formally accepted onto the SBTi
with our declaration of commitment. We are currently developing
science-based targets which cover the entire value chain
(Scopes 1, 2 and 3) ready for validation by SBTi. We are working
with our specialist consultants EcoAct in order to deliver these.
Milestone Infrastructure introduce new type of bollard made from
sugar cane, a low-carbon alternative to traditional bollards.
