Core Highways reduces carbon

Core Highways, the nationwide traffic management and associated highways services provider, reduced its carbon output by 17.6% on a revenue intensity basis during their last financial year.

The company has set ambitious net zero commitments structured around seven goals delivering short and long-term carbon savings. Working closely with customers and supply chain, embracing technology and driving operational efficiency has resulted in 17.6% savings on a revenue intensity basis to date. This is underpinned by the introduction of a carbon reduction toolkit which provides practical solutions and advice. 

“We take our responsibility to the planet seriously at Core Highways. Over the past 2 years we’ve set our Net Zero strategy and driven execution to reduce our impact on the planet. Core Highways is committed to decarbonising our operations and whilst our initial results are pleasing, we know we have a long road ahead of us to achieve Net Zero. Collaboration with our clients and supply chain, alongside adopting new innovations will be key to us becoming a Net Zero organisation.”

- Lizi Stewart, CEO
