Building a sustainable future

As a nationwide facilities management business, we are part of nearly all communities across the UK, which is why our goals are designed to give back and enhance local eco-systems.
Our objectives drive local accountability within the business and ensure that our strategy is embedded in our everyday working practices and underpins our decision making across all regions, divisions and functions.

Plastic Reduction

We are implementing the updated PVA range across our client sites. These products helped us to save 38 metric tonnes of plastic waste in 2020/21 compared to the 26 metric tonnes that were saved in 2019/20.

Sustainability Champions

Our sustainability champions team is made up of volunteers from across the Churchill Group who are passionate about having a positive impact on the communities and environments we live and work in. Their remit is to ensure that we not only spread our community support across the UK but that we work with the right projects and partners to make the biggest impact we can.

Waste Management

In 2020 we appointed phs as our main washroom service provider. Instead of sending waste to landfill, phs collects sanitary and nappy waste from our clients and takes it to an ‘Energy From Waste’ plant. This means that not only are we reducing waste going to landfill, but also that 150 households can be powered with electricity for whole year.

Science Based Targets

We have signed a letter of commitment that we will be setting science-based targets. The latest climate science sends a clear warning that we must dramatically curb temperature rise to avoid the catastrophic impacts of climate change. Science-based targets show companies how much and how quickly they need to reduce their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to prevent the worst effects of climate change.

Carbon Disclosure Project

We have signed up to the Carbon Disclosure Project. Each year CDP supports thousands of companies, cities, and regions to measure and manage their risks and opportunities on climate change, water security and deforestation.

EcoVadis Gold Award

We recently signed up to an external audit process (EcoVadis) to assess Churchill with regard to ESG. Four areas assessed were:
  • Environment
  • Ethics
  • Labour and Human rights
  • Sustainable procurement
The EcoVadis Rating covers a broad range of non-financial management systems including Environmental, Labour & Human Rights, Ethics and Sustainable Procurement impacts. Each company is rated on the material issues as they pertain to their company’s size, location and industry. These evidence-based assessments are refined into easy-to-read scorecards, providing zero to one hundred (0-100) scores, and medals (bronze, silver, gold), when applicable.
