Kingsley Build Group Carbon Reduction Plan.
The plan
Kingsley Build Group Ltd has published a Carbon Reduction Plan in accordance with the Technical Standard for the Completion of Carbon Reduction Plans (WPPN 006).
The plan covers our UK operations and sets out how we measure, manage and reduce carbon emissions.
Carbon measurement and reporting
The plan reports emissions across:
- Scope 1: direct emissions from fuel use in company vehicles and plant.
- Scope 2: indirect emissions from purchased electricity.
- Scope 3 (selected categories): business travel, waste, and supply chain activities where data is available.
Baseline emissions have been established and annual emissions are measured using recognised conversion factors. The plan is reviewed annually and is publicly available.
Carbon reduction measures
Measures to reduce emissions include:
- Selecting construction methods that minimise ground disturbance, excavation, and concrete use (for example ground screw foundations and temporary works solutions).
- Careful planning of logistics to reduce journeys, including consolidated deliveries and appropriate transport selection.
- Use of modern, efficient plant and vehicles where practicable.
- Increased use of manual methods and lightweight equipment in sensitive environments.
- Waste minimisation through reuse of materials, segregation of waste, and responsible disposal.
- Procurement of materials from responsible and sustainable sources where available.
Project-specific environmental controls
For environmentally sensitive projects, such as marine and National Park works, environmental risks are assessed at planning stage. Works are phased to minimise disruption, protect habitats, and reduce unnecessary energy use.
Pollution prevention measures are implemented to protect watercourses and the surrounding land.
Governance and continuous improvement
Responsibility for environmental performance sits at director level, with site management implementing controls on projects. Performance and carbon reduction opportunities are reviewed regularly.
