At G&E, we recognise that the construction industry can contribute to waste and have an environmental impact. Recognising our responsibility in this regard, we have implemented a range of sustainable practices aimed at not only minimising waste but also reducing our carbon footprint. Our commitment to environmental protection forms part of our ethos, and we continuously strive to learn new ways of working to mitigate environmental impact.
In the Office:
Cutting Down on Paper Use: Embracing digital, we've made significant strides in reducing our paper consumption. Internal communications and documents have largely transitioned to digital formats, resulting in less paper waste.
Sensor Light Installations: We've implemented sensor lights throughout our premises to ensure that lighting is only active when areas are in use. This simple yet effective measure has reduced energy consumption and costs.
Comprehensive Recycling: Our office recycling program is comprehensive and colour-coded. We recycle everything from cartridges and paper to batteries, ensuring that recyclable materials are properly disposed of.
Electronic Waste Disposal: Disposing of old electronics the right way is crucial. We recycle such items to ensure that electronic waste does not end up in landfills.
Energy-Efficient AC Units: Our air conditioning units are equipped with timers to optimise energy use. They are programmed to operate during business hours and automatically turn off when the office is unoccupied.
Green Suppliers and Partners: We make a conscious effort to choose green suppliers and partners whenever possible. From sustainable office supplies to eco-friendly construction materials, we seek out environmentally responsible options.
On Site:
Energy-Efficient Site Cabins: When setting up construction sites, we prioritise site cabins with basic energy efficiency measures and proper insulation. This helps maintain a comfortable working environment while conserving energy.
Transportation Efficiency: We consider the energy waste associated with transportation. To minimise emissions, we combine deliveries whenever possible and source construction materials locally to reduce our carbon footprint.
Waste Reduction: On Fit out and construction sites, we actively reduce wastage by coordinating with other sites to see if they can make use of any leftover materials. This reduces the amount of construction waste sent to landfills.
Specialised Waste Disposal: We source skips that are specific to different types of waste. This approach increases the likelihood that waste materials will be recycled rather than discarded inappropriately.
Our Commitment to Continuous Improvement:
At G&E Projects, our commitment to sustainability extends beyond our current practices. We are dedicated to continually learning and implementing new ways to improve our environmental safeguarding. This includes staying updated on the latest sustainable construction technologies and practices, as well as actively seeking feedback and ideas from our team members. We take great pride in our commitment to environmental practices. We believe that every small step we take today contributes to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly future for all.
As fit out, refurbishment, and construction specialists, we have a wealth of successful past projects. To view our work, take a look at our case studies. If you want to talk about how we can help with your refurbishment work, get in touch here.
