2026-2027

Sustainability is shaping the way infrastructure is designed, specified and delivered across the UK. Our Sustainability Report 2026-2027 sets out how we are responding to that change by embedding sustainability into our strategy, operations and value chain. It explains where our biggest impacts sit, how our priorities have been shaped, and where we are focusing our efforts over the next two years. 

This is not a standalone initiative for us. It is part of how we plan, how we work with suppliers and customers, and how we support long-term performance in the public realm. From responsible sourcing and product transparency through to emissions reduction, workforce development and environmental awareness, the full report brings these themes together in one place.

What sustainability means at Geoworks

These four pillars reflect how we define sustainability in practical terms - not as a separate programme, but as part of how we operate and improve over the long term. The full report explains how each pillar connects to our business model, customer expectations and future plans. 

Achieving net zero

We are committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions across our operations and value chain, guided by a long-term ambition and a clear direction of travel.

Empowered people

We want to provide a workplace where people are safe, supported and equipped with the skills they need to succeed.

Partnerships and collaboration

Many of the biggest sustainability challenges sit beyond our direct operations, so progress depends on working closely with suppliers, logistics partners and customers.

Responsible supply chain

We are strengthening governance, ethical standards and transparency across our supply chain to manage risk and meet rising expectations.

Understanding what matters most

Sustainability covers a wide range of issues, so one of the most important steps is deciding where to focus. In the report, we share how we carried out a materiality assessment to identify the topics most relevant to our business, our value chain and our people.

The assessment helped us move beyond broad ambition and focus on the issues that matter most in practice - from health, safety and wellbeing to product quality, responsible business practice, energy use and emissions reduction. Rather than trying to cover everything at once, the report shows how we are prioritising the areas where we can make the biggest difference.

Looking ahead

Our report links our sustainability priorities to wider global goals and sets out a long-term direction of travel for the years ahead. This includes the areas we believe will be most important in reducing impact, strengthening governance and supporting long-term resilience across the business. 

The roadmap section in the full report gives a clearer view of how we plan to move forward over time, with key stages covering emissions reduction, supply chain progress and the long-term ambition behind our Net Zero pathway. 

Our value chain and sustainability impacts

Understanding where sustainability impacts occur across our value chain is essential to focusing our efforts effectively. Our report maps the key stages from sourcing and transport through to UK operations, customer installation, long-term use and end of life. 

This matters because our impact profile is distinctive. Many of the most significant environmental and social impacts do not sit solely within our day-to-day site operations. They are influenced by specification choices, supplier standards, transport, product durability and the way infrastructure performs over time. 

Why this matters

The full report explains how this value chain view helps us focus on the right priorities, manage risk more effectively and support customers with better information. It also shows why collaboration plays such a central role in our sustainability approach. 

From responsible sourcing and logistics through to lifecycle performance and end-of-life circularity, the report gives a fuller picture of where sustainability actions can deliver long-term value.

Environmental sustainability

Environmental sustainability is the largest focus within our current strategy, reflecting both the scale of our footprint and the expectations placed on infrastructure supply chains. In the report, we outline how we are building our approach around robust data, third-party verification and a clearer understanding of where impacts occur across our value chain. 

The report explores our carbon baseline, the sources that matter most, and how our decarbonisation pathway is being shaped around the areas of greatest impact. It also explains why logistics, supplier engagement and long-term product performance are such important parts of the conversation. 

Sustainable products, durability and transparency

A more transparent and life-cycle focused product approach is not only about what happens before installation. It is also about what happens over the decades that follow. Our report highlights the importance of long service life, reduced replacement demand and better lifecycle outcomes across the infrastructure products we supply. 

It also outlines how we are supporting transparency through independently verified Environmental Product Declarations across our ductile ironwork range, helping customers access standardised lifecycle information when they need it. 

This section of the report is designed for customers who want to understand how durability, compliance and transparent product data all contribute to more informed specification and better long-term decision-making.

Turning awareness into action

Our report also highlights the role infrastructure can play in public awareness and environmental protection. Through The Sea Starts Here initiative, we are helping make the connection between roadside drainage, local watercourses and the wider natural environment more visible in the public realm. 

Alongside this, the report outlines how we support practical action through our work with the Canal & River Trust, including environmental improvement activity and colleague engagement. These examples show how sustainability is not only about internal performance, but also about the role we can play in wider environmental understanding and stewardship.

Our priorities for 2026-2027

Over the 2026-2027 period, our focus is on delivery and measurable progress. The report sets out the priority areas guiding our next phase, including renewable electricity transition, transport-related emissions reduction, stronger responsible sourcing governance, continued investment in safety and skills, and the next steps in our Net Zero plans.

It also highlights important progress already made, including our EcoVadis Silver rating and our intention to seek validation of our targets through the Science Based Targets initiative.

This is a journey we are committed to progressing with clarity, accountability and continuous improvement.
