Costain commits to net zero by 2035

Smart infrastructure solutions firm Costain has committed to reaching net zero by 2035 and delivering low carbon solutions to every one of its clients by 2023.

The company stated: "This will be via a whole life cycle approach, eliminating our clients’ and supply chain’s emissions as well as our own."

It also plans to work collaboratively with government, clients, partners and regulators and its supply chain to play a leading role in the development and delivery of both carbon capture, clean hydrogen and renewable energy technologies to reduce carbon impacts across every sector.

Its journey towards sustainability will see it reduce plant emissions, incorporate low or zero carbon materials, switch all of its energy connections to carbon-neutral energy tariffs and electrify its vehicle fleet.

Alex Vaughan, CEO said: "Eliminating carbon emissions is fundamental to ensure we help shape UK infrastructure to mitigate and adapt to the global challenge of climate change.

"We are developing and offering our clients low carbon, whole-life solutions to ensure that we make a positive difference over the next decade."
