At Gallaway Construction, sustainability isn’t a slogan — it’s the standard we work to every day.
We’ve already reduced emissions from plant and site welfare by 90% by switching to solar-powered and low-emission technologies, and we’re actively supporting oursupply chain to follow suit. Every member of our team is undergoing BREEAM training, and our project delivery model integrates environmental best practices from pre-construction through to handover.
We are fully committed to reaching net zero by 2035. That includes achieving our Scope 1 and 2 targets by the end of 2025 and making strong progress on Scope 3 emissions in collaboration with our clients and partners. On every Gallaway site, low- carbon materials, biodiversity net gain, and circular waste reduction are already standard practice.
But sustainability also means investing in people. Through our social programmes, we’re creating inclusive pathways into the industry and delivering meaningful social value in every community where we operate.
Our in-house Green Team meets monthly to drive innovation, track carbon performance, and lead company-wide sustainability initiatives.
Every department contributes to our mission, from procurement to on-site delivery.
We are committed to transparent, evidence-based decision-making.
Our sustainability performance is continuously monitored using clear KPIs across emissions, energy, waste, and supply chain impact.
We publish annual progress updates and review our Net Zero policy each year to ensure alignment with emerging technologies, regulations, and industry best practice.
We embrace the principles of the Considerate Constructors Scheme, ensuring our sites are run with minimal environmental impact and maximum community benefit—prioritising safety, cleanliness, and respectful practice.
Sustainability is a shared responsibility.
That’s why we’ve updated our pre-qualification questionnaires to assess subcontractors’ carbon commitments.
We also offer guidance and training to support greener supply chain practices.
Gallaway utilises local supply chain for all our projects where possible to improve sustainability through carbon reduction and to deliver significant economic social value to local communities.
We actively seek out partnerships to progress our sustainability ambitions.
Our sustainability framework aligns with key UN SDGs, including Climate Action, Responsible Consumption, Decent Work, and Sustainable Cities.
These guide our actions and ensure we’re contributing to a global movement for positive change.
At Gallaway Construction, we apply the BREEAM methodology wherever relevant, embedding sustainability at every stage—from design through to delivery. BREEAM is the world’s leading science-based certification for the built environment, and we align our processes and planning with its rigorous standards.
Our entire team has received BREEAM training to ensure we do more than just comply; we aim to consistently achieve ‘Excellent’ ratings on all suitable projects. By adopting this globally recognised framework, we demonstrate our commitment to delivering buildings that excel in environmental performance, resource efficiency, and resilience.We don’t just meet the benchmark — we strive to raise it.
Every project is an opportunity to show that construction can be low-carbon, high-impact, and community-focused.
At Gallaway, every project embeds social value activities that strengthen communities and promote lasting sustainability.
From local employment and community engagement to education, training, and inclusive opportunities, we build with purpose — supporting economic resilience, reducing inequalities, and fostering social wellbeing.
Each project is a chance to create a positive impact that goes beyond environmental goals and helps build stronger, fairer communities for the long term.
We’re always looking to collaborate with like-minded clients, suppliers, and partners who share our commitment to building more sustainably.
