Genuit Group
Sustainability team
Genuit Group’s purpose is to create a better, more sustainable built environment. This means increasing its resilience to adapt to the challenges that climate change creates, as well as reducing the impact it has upon the environment. Sustainability is therefore at the core of how Genuit operates and its commercial growth strategy, and the Group’s sustainability team is a highly important part of this. At the same time, the team has driven excellent progress in reducing the environmental impact of Genuit’s business operations and setting industry-leading science-based targets for further improvement.
ODGroup
ESG Strategy
In 2024 we launched the ODGroup ESG Strategy based on years of data collection that allowed us to set realistic benchmarks based on long-term collated information. SustainIQ, ESG reporting software, monitors and measures ESG performance, helping us to accurately operations to ensure we’re meeting our set targets. We have developed a bespoke ESG dashboard available to stakeholders within projects, promote awareness, usage, understanding and accountability throughout project lifecycles. We also adhere to the Considerate Constructor Scheme (CCS) and have a targeted average score of 39 out of 45 for each project registered. We have been certified to ISO14001 since 2015.
