Carbon Neutral Organisation
We are proud to have achieved carbon neutral positive status with Carbon Footprint Ltd. They have assessed our carbon emissions within the business, and we have offset our carbon footprint with a School tree planting scheme in England and an Amazon rainforest preventing deforestation scheme.
Plant Hire - Plant Tree
In addition to this we have launched our ‘Plant Hire – Plant Tree’ initiative which for every week’s boat hire we plant a tree. This has seen us plant over 2,850 native trees in the last year and over 10,000 since the scheme started.
Since launch in 2020: over 10,500 trees planted... and counting
Mancetter Wharf
The wharf enables us to move materials by water and has been increasingly used by clients for loading/unloading of plant & materials. This provides a greener solution to road haulage. Floating plant can also be mobilised from here or collected by clients. The in-house lifting equipment also reduces the requirement for mobile cranes & road lorries. In addition, when using marinas & boat yards to lift in we prioritise those with cranes to avoid having to send another mobile crane.
More coming soon.
