As the effects of climate change become more apparent, it's more important than ever for the construction industry to play its part in reducing emissions and limiting its impact on the environment.
At Hall & Hart, we believe that every product or service we provide can result in positive climate action, by first measuring the impact, then reducing negative emissions where possible and offsetting unavoidable emissions against verified climate projects.
In alignment with our commitments and after following the successful verification of our baseline emissions by Carbonhalo, our team has had the opportunity to digest this information and develop a reduction plan and road map. This roadmap outlines our commitments to effectively minimise our business emissions and contribute to environmental sustainability.
To demonstrate our commitment, we will:
Our dedication to minimising our carbon footprint aligns with our commitment to contribute to Australia's 2030 reduction targets. We acknowledge the imperative of addressing climate change, with the construction industry playing a vital role in this endeavour.
Our initiatives are prioritised to be aligned with Sustainable Development Goals:
Affordable and Clean Energy:
We strive to ensure universal access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy sources by assessing energy efficiency in new home designs and including solar & EV charging in our standards.
Sustainable Cities and Communities:
We aim to foster inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable urban environments by ensuring that all new homes exceed a NaTHERS 7 Star rating by elevating insulation standards for enhanced energy efficiency.
As we continue on our decarbonisation journey, we will continue to update our progress. If you would like to see how we are progressing on our journey you can read about our commitments, actions, and some climate metrics on our business impact page.
