Sustainability Policy

1. Purpose

Cladding Remediation is committed to carrying out its work in a way that supports environmental responsibility, resource efficiency, safe building improvement, and long-term sustainability. We recognise that cladding remediation projects can affect materials, waste, transport, energy use, building performance, and the wider built environment. This policy sets out our commitment to reducing negative environmental impact and embedding sustainable thinking into how we plan, manage, and deliver our services.

2. Our Commitment

Cladding Remediation is committed to:

3. Scope

This policy applies to Cladding Remediation’s business activities, project planning, project delivery, suppliers, subcontractors, and operational practices where relevant to our services.

4. Key Sustainability Principles

4.1 Responsible Project Planning

We aim to incorporate sustainability considerations into project planning wherever reasonably practicable. This includes reviewing how project sequencing, access arrangements, temporary works, material selection, and logistics may affect environmental performance during delivery.

4.2 Resource Efficiency

We seek to use materials, equipment, and site resources efficiently. Where possible, we aim to reduce unnecessary waste, avoid avoidable duplication, and support practical resource planning across remediation activities.

4.3 Waste Reduction and Responsible Disposal

Cladding remediation can involve removal of unsafe or defective materials. We aim to manage waste responsibly by:

4.4 Sustainable Material Consideration

Where material choices form part of a remediation strategy, we aim to consider not only safety and technical suitability but also the wider sustainability implications of replacement systems where reasonably practicable. This may include durability, compatibility, maintenance implications, and the long-term performance of the remediated external wall assembly.

4.5 Transport and Logistics

We recognise that transport and access arrangements can contribute to environmental impact. We aim, where practicable, to improve coordination of deliveries, reduce unnecessary journeys, and plan logistics efficiently to support both project control and reduced environmental impact.

4.6 Long-Term Building Performance

Our work is focused on correcting unsafe or defective external wall conditions, but we also recognise the wider importance of durable, coherent, and properly coordinated wall systems. A well-planned remediation programme can help support the long-term resilience, maintainability, and performance of the corrected façade assembly.

4.7 Compliance and Good Practice

We aim to comply with applicable environmental laws, regulations, and project requirements relevant to our activities. We also seek to work in a way that reflects responsible industry practice and project governance.

5. How We Put This Policy Into Practice

Cladding Remediation will seek to support this policy by:

6. Roles and Responsibility

Responsibility for implementing this policy sits across the business. Management will support sustainable working practices, and those involved in project planning and delivery are expected to take this policy into account where relevant to their role and the nature of the works.

7. Review

This Sustainability Policy will be reviewed periodically and updated where appropriate to reflect changes in our business, our projects, legal requirements, or our approach to sustainability.
