PHD leading sustainability in scaffolding
Since joining the Supply Chain Sustainability School in 2015, we have continuously integrated sustainable practices into our operations. As a proud Silver Award recipient, we have demonstrated a strong commitment to sustainability through ongoing professional development and knowledge enhancement.
To date, we’ve completed over 16 hours of continuous learning and accumulated 48 hours of total training, utilising 78 resources to improve our business practices. With a score of 4 out of 5—surpassing the sector average by 1.5 points—PHD stands as a leader in sustainability within our industry.
This achievement reflects our dedication to reducing our environmental impact and improving the social and economic outcomes of our work. With the guidance and resources provided by the Supply Chain Sustainability School, we continue to drive positive change within the construction industry, making sustainability a core pillar of our operations.
The Supply Chain Sustainability School, launched in 2012, is a comprehensive and free virtual learning platform designed to promote sustainability across the UK’s built environment sector. Recognising the crucial role that sustainability plays in construction, the school aims to upskill industry professionals by focusing on the environmental, social and economic dimensions of sustainability.
In an industry that contributes significantly to global carbon emissions, the need for sustainable practices is more critical than ever. For construction companies, engaging with the Supply Chain Sustainability School offers numerous benefits:
With the evolving nature of environmental and social regulations, construction firms need to stay informed and compliant.
Companies that adopt sustainable practices gain a competitive edge when bidding for contracts.
The school’s guidance on carbon reduction, waste management, and other key areas allows firms to operate more efficiently.
The school also provides other resources to combat modern slavery, promote fair working conditions, and support diversity and inclusion.
