Cadogans Environmental review 2012-13

Cadogans Environmental and Social Review is produced by the company each year to analyse its impact on the environment both in terms of the projects that we undertake and the way that we work as a business to achieve our project goals.

Highlights of our review include:

  • A reduction of paper use of over 80%
  • A reduction in general waste of 70%
  • A reduction of 59% in the amount of electricity used
  • A reduction of 19% in CO2 emissions through travel
  • We have been involved in innovative and environmentally sustainable projects including a large NHS energy efficiency survey, a biomass housing project and a project to use solar water heating and solar PV electricity generation to partly power a mental health service building.
  • We also undertook an internal survey which suggested that every one of our staff agreed that they had good working relationships with their colleagues.
  • The proportion of female technical staff is 38% higher than the average UK engineering company.*
The message from this review is clear. Not only do we at Cadogans feel that it is our responsiblity to lead the way in establishing a sustainable way of working, but many of the projects we work on reflect our vision of a clean, sustainable future. Our engineers understand their role in this and embrace it.
