Road to Net Zero
Clancy is committed to achieving Net Zero by 2050 and has a carbon reduction strategy in place, supported by carbon reduction plans across all our works. We have also set an ambition to achieve a 30% reduction in our Scope 1 & 2 carbon emissions by 2030.
While this represents a significant challenge, it reflects our long‑term commitment to our core purpose: to build a world where sustainable infrastructure is at the heart of our communities.
To help us achieve this we will undertake the following:
We will reduce avoidable emissions by improving behavioural maturity across our workforce, focusing on practical actions such as reducing idling, improving driving behaviours and increasing fuel efficiency. This approach will support lasting behaviour change and deliver measurable carbon reductions at contract level.
Refurbishing our Harefield & Dartford offices to improve energy efficiency, including upgrades to building fabric, LED lighting, and more efficient heating and cooling systems. At Harefield, this includes the installation of energy‑efficient heating, cooling technologies and wider energy performance improvements.
Introducing a BEV company car policy and continuing the transition of our fleet to electric vehicles where operationally feasible, supported by ongoing assessment of charging requirements and vehicle suitability across contracts.
Trialling battery electric vans alongside other electric vehicle trials, to assess operational performance, range, and suitability for wider deployment across the business.
Evaluating and progressing renewable energy solutions, including on‑site solar PV installations, to reduce reliance on grid electricity and lower operational emissions, with installations undertaken at our head office in Harefield.
Identifying and transitioning to lower‑carbon and alternative fuel options, such as HVO, particularly for plant and vehicles where electrification is not yet viable, supported by compatibility assessments and supplier engagement.
Investigating and deploying digital technologies, including telemetry and LIDAR systems, to improve the accuracy and efficiency of excavation activities, reduce rework, and minimise associated carbon impacts.
Working collaboratively with The Climate Group and the WBCSD as a founding signatory of the Concrete Zero initiative, supporting the transition to lower‑carbon concrete and increased use of lower‑carbon default mixes across projects.
