World Earth Day

Posted on by michellecoates

At PJ Hegarty, sustainability is central to how we operate. On World Earth Day, we’re proud to highlight the steps we’re taking to reduce our environmental impact through our 2030 ESG Roadmap.

We recognise the urgency of the climate crisis and the responsibility to act. That’s why we’ve aligned our carbon reduction goals with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), ensuring our efforts are in line with global climate objectives.

As part of our journey to reach Net Zero carbon emissions by 2050, we’ve set ambitious targets for 2030:

  • A 47.5% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions.
  • A 33.5% reduction in Scope 3 emissions.

We’re proud of the progress we’ve made while looking ahead at all there is to do. Explore our 2030 ESG Roadmap to learn more about how we’re building a more sustainable future.

CHINESE DELEGATION RECEIVED IN OUR LONDON OFFICE

Posted on by PJ Hegarty

Our London Office team were proud to receive a delegation from the Shanghai Municipal Civil Defence Office recently. The delegation were making their second stop on a 5 day tour of Europe.

Following a short presentation of the history and accomplishments of P.J. Hegarty & Sons, the delegation were invited to ask questions and compared notes on how the construction and civil engineering industries differ between the two nations.

Most of the interest focused around Building regulation enforcement between the two cultures and it transpires, there is a lot more government involvement in China than the UK. Both in terms of issuing permits at various stages of a project and in terms of direct government agency inspections and final sign off.

The delegation presented us with a souvenir ceramic tile depicting the Shanghai skyline, which is proudly displayed in the London office conference room.

We look forward to further interaction in the future.
