Sustainability

Sustainable building for a resilient future

At Niblock, we are committed to protecting the environment and championing sustainable construction practices. Acknowledging the significant environmental impact of our industry, we take our responsibility seriously and believe the construction sector must lead the way toward carbon neutrality.

Following the government’s pledge to achieve net zero emissions by 2050, carbon efficiency is no longer optional – it is essential. It aligns not only with regulatory compliance but also with our long-term commitment to a sustainable future.

Our approach centers on:

Biodiversity and renewable energy: We work closely with clients to reduce energy use, promote renewables and support local ecosystems.
Enhanced waste management: We prioritise the reuse and recycling of site-based materials to minimise landfill waste.
Sustainable materials and technologies: We actively incorporate eco-friendly products and energy-efficient systems into our builds.
Energy performance upgrades: Through retrofit projects, we modernise older buildings with efficient technologies, reducing emissions and extending their lifecycle.

At the core of what we do: building thriving communities, minimising environmental impact.

Sustainability is embedded throughout every stage of our construction process. Key initiatives include:

Electric vehicle incentives to reduce transport-related emissions
Partnership with Neutral Carbon Zone to measure and track our carbon footprint
A robust Waste Management Strategy, focused on maximising recycled material use
A dedicated Carbon Reduction Champion, responsible for monitoring and reporting on our environmental performance
Improved the Environmental Performance of our office by 50%
Local sourcing to cut transportation emissions and support local suppliers
Ensure our Suppliers & Sub- contractors have a Live Carbon Policy
Carbon Literacy Training rolled out across all staff
