After being elevated to a B grade in 2023, Galliford Try has maintained this rating for 2024 through a series of initiatives aimed at reducing emissions and enhancing environmental management.

Key milestones achieved this year include:

• Reducing Scope 1 and 2 emissions by a further 2.5% year on year.

• Publishing the company's first net zero route map.

• Achieving the PAS 2080:2023 certification for Carbon Management in Buildings, Infrastructure, and Product/Material Supply.

• Expanding the electrification of its company car fleet, with 93% of vehicles now electric or plug-in hybrid.

• Increasing the share of electricity purchased on certified renewable tariffs to 86%.
