Winvic Construction Ltd, a leading main contractor that specialises in the design and delivery of private and public sector construction and civil engineering projects, has announced it has achieved Net Carbonzero certification through the Achilles Climate Impact Programme, following verification under ISO14064 Part 3.
Now operating as a Carbon Neutral business, Winvic has reduced its overall carbon footprint by 71% in compliance with the Part 3 requirements.
The announcement highlights the contractor’s ongoing commitment to reducing its carbon footprint and the quality and transparency of its auditing through globally recognised and verified scheme, Achilles.
An early adopter of measuring emissions, Winvic began its carbon reduction journey 13 years ago. In that time the contractor has implemented a range of measures to reduce its impact on the environment and embed sustainability across all operations – from investing in renewable energy, battery back-up generators, alternative fuels and energy sources, to waste reduction initiatives and creating its Green Supply Chain (GSC) Forum.
Establishing its Sustainability Strategy in 2020, using the pillars of People, Innovation, Planet and Community, these pillars gave Winvic a roadmap to work towards its sustainability goals, including that of being a Carbon Neutral business and directly support seven of the United Nations’ Global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Since 2012, Winvic has been monitoring and measuring its Green House Gas (GHG) emissions, committing to accountable and transparent carbon reporting which is demonstrated by Winvic achieving the Achilles Carbon Reduce Programme Certification in line with ISO 14064-1 annually since 2022, adding to a wider portfolio of ISO accreditations. This globally recognised certification is aligned with Science Based Target initiatives (SBTis) and industry best practice for carbon emission measuring and reporting.
