For over a decade, Costain has been measuring and disclosing its carbon footprint. We have also taken an industry-leading approach to reducing both our footprint and that of wider industry by tackling the operations of our client's assets. Through our core purpose of improving people's lives by providing cleaner and improved energy, water and transportation infrastructure, we have for several years played an active part in contributing to a number of the United Nations Development goals (SDGs). Our WiiSE 2021 strategy accelerates our progress towards becoming a net zero carbon organisation by 2035 at the latest, and a provider of carbon zero solutions to clients as standard by 2023. This will be further enhanced by providing our colleagues and our design stakeholders the most up to date knowledge and insight into our climate change aspirations.

In addition, we will support our senior leaders in their appreciation of the wider SHE agenda including the importance of eliminating harm, the principles of being a mindful organisation, and the use of behaviours to drive decision-making, helping us remain at the leading edge of client expectation and provision.
