Huws Gray has published its second sustainability report, marking a step forward in its long-term commitment to responsible business practices.
The report highlights progress in 2024 and introduces a new suite of targets aligned with four strategic pillars: People, Planet, Products, and Principles.
Key milestones in 2024 included; cutting total waste to 12,439 tonnes and diverting 98% away from landfill, 64% of electricity now coming from renewable sources, up from 16% in 2023, and aiming to cut Scope 1 & 2 emissions by 50% by 2032.
This progress builds on new initiatives such as Think Green, the ESG Champions programme, and a strategic partnership with the Construction Inclusion Coalition, reinforcing Huws Gray’s commitment to sustainability and inclusion across the industry.
Huws Gray Group chief executive officer, Daksh Gupta, says: “This is just the start of our journey. We’re proud of the progress we’ve made to date, but we know there’s more to do. Our long-term commitment is about reducing our impact and supporting customers to build more sustainably — helping us deliver on our purpose of making building better.”
