Green Awards 2020
We are delighted to have won two awards at the Green Awards in Dublin. The Sisk team won the 'Green Construction Award' and 'Green Business of the Year'. The Green Business of the Year was selected by the judging panel from all the winning categories on the night and is an outstanding achievement for Sisk.
Both awards are recognition for our business having taken great strides to delivering our carbon reduction agenda over the past year.
The Green Awards recognise the extraordinary contribution and commitment that companies make towards growing a greener future in Irish business.
Electric vehicles
Since committing to electric vehicles in 2019 Sisk has made significant strides forward. We have installed fast chargers at our offices in Dublin, Cork, Galway and Warrington in the UK. We are well on our way to meeting our target of 100 electric fleet vehicles by 2023.
By 2024, 50% of the vehicles in our fleet will be electric. We will eliminate internal combustion engine powered vehicles from our company car fleet by 2030.
Green suppliers
Sisk ensures that decisions taken regarding the procurement and engagement of any organisations, individuals, goods or services are governed by integrating environmental, legal, social and economic considerations into all stages of the procurement process.
Our procurement teams actively seek to collaborate with clients, consultants, specialist contractors and suppliers to develop integrated supply chains which respect biodiversity and human rights and promote fair employment practices.
Reducing and recycling waste
Sisk forecasts, continually monitors and targets waste reductions throughout construction from project inception to completion. We engage with our supply chain to identify and target reductions in waste stream generation.
We provide effective and progressive management of waste on-site through the use of supplier take-backs and recycling services.
Our site teams engage with first class waste contractors with advanced systems to ensure Sisk waste is expertly processed following the waste hierarchy for reuse, recycling and recovery prior to disposal as a last resort.
