Sustainability

For our people and our planet, now and beyond.

Our Commitment

Responsible and sustainable solutions.

We commit to being a responsible business for all our stakeholders, upholding the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact in the areas of human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption. These responsibilities form the foundation of all our sustainability practices and may not be offset by good works elsewhere.

Driving change, now and beyond

Our engineering solutions and services act as a catalyst for the economic and societal development of the communities in which we work.

Our Plan

We recognise the impacts that our business has made, positively and negatively, and we are making innovative changes for the better, to reach our sustainability goals.

Climate Action

We recognise that now is the time to step-up. We recognise our power as an industry leader to make a difference, taking a data-oriented approach to drive continuous improvement.

Reduce company emissions by 51% by 2030
Electrification of our fleet, eradicating 98% of Obelisk’s Scope 1 emissions
100% renewable energy used in all company operations by 2030

Gender Equality

Our people are our business. We’re adopting a proactive approach to achieving gender balance through recruitment, retention and learning & development practices. Not only is this the right thing to do, it’s good for business because it provides us with access to the biggest pool of talent possible and supports our growth strategy.

Currently, our senior leadership team has a 60:40 gender balance, and our aim is to achieve this across all levels of management by 2030.

Eliminate gender bias from recruitment processes
Equalisation of compensation & benefits structure and elimination of the gender pay gap
Gender balance across all management levels by 2030

Zero Waste to Landfill

This initiative is still in development, in partnership with our supply chain and clients, but our ambition is to have zero waste going to either landfill or incineration without recovery by 2030.

Identify and analyse all waste flows
Collaborate with both suppliers and clients to design out waste and reduce waste at source
Zero landfill or incineration waste without recovery by 2030
Renewables

Efficient and purposeful engineering solutions for people and planet.

We’re continuing to innovate with sustainable solutions in the renewables sector.
