SUSTAINABILITY CAMPAIGN 2023-2024

We’re excited to share our latest endeavour – a sustainability campaign that’s designed to make a meaningful difference, driven just by a commitment to do what’s right.

At J Coffey, we take immense pride in our work’s positive impact on our colleagues, clients and the communities we work within; but we’re equally conscious of our industry’s environmental footprint.
From materials to waste, we’re always rethinking how we work with our clients and partners on sites to develop towards a greener future as the norm.
Although the construction industry has made progress in sustainability, we know there’s still lots to do. We are continuing to become a leading contractor in the transformation of how we build, renovate and operate in the built environment.
We embrace the responsibility to drive change in our supply chains, introduce best practices on our sites and offer dynamic solutions to our clients.

Objective: This campaign aims to emphasise to all sites the significant impact of our small decisions on sustainability.
Targets:
– 1,000+ hours of focused training
– On-site training with Tool Box Talks and using selected resources from the
Supply Chain Sustainability school.
– Creation and promotion of 12 unique case studies during this campaign,
focusing on innovation, best practice, and human impact.
-Create four more “Sunflower” sites, continuing to raise awareness and provide training around hidden disabilities to create a more inclusive environment for our work colleagues.

Make sure to check out the great work of the sunflower scheme at: What is the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower? (https://hdsunflower.com/)

Congratulations to all teams who brought home silverware on the day.

Appreciation Post

Huge Congratulations to our very own Danny Newland, on winning the Forward Trust Volunteer Award. Danny is a site manager with J Coffey Infrastructure and has been with us for 3 years. An excellent team player and site manager he goes above and beyond to help others.

Danny noted…” someone helped me change my life… they shared their experience, strength and hope and allowed me to see there was a chance to change if I was willing to take action. I have had the opportunity to work with so many others and give back what was freely given to me. To see others who have no hope, get a complete new way of living and their lives reassembled.”

Danny is a true inspiration and we are proud to have him as part of our team.
