We’re building and operating our company with sustainability and environmental responsibility in mind.

We have pledged to do everything we can to reduce carbon emissions and support a thriving natural environment.

As a modern contractor, Sheriff Construction understands our responsibility to reduce environmental impact at every stage – from procurement and construction to waste disposal and transport. Sustainability is more than a policy; it’s part of how we operate every day.

Eco-friendly practices:

Supporting our clients’ sustainability goals

  • Installing green, blue, and biodiverse roofing systems
  • Minimising waste with near zero-waste policies on site and at Head Office

Reducing emissions from our fleet

  • Investing in hybrid vehicles and stop-start engine technology
  • Eliminating idling, tracking usage and promoting carpooling
  • Maintaining all vehicles for optimal efficiency

Smart use of materials and resources

  • Conserving energy and water in office and site operations
  • Reclaiming, recycling and upcycling materials (e.g. our boardroom table, outdoor decking and flower boxes were all made this way)

Procurement with purpose

  • Choosing suppliers committed to sustainability and ethical practices
  • Supporting local economies by sourcing locally wherever possible
  • Minimising delivery journeys to cut carbon emissions

Greener property development

  • Designing homes that are well insulated, energy efficient and low carbon
  • Promoting alternatives to car use, such as cycle storage
  • Avoiding the need for gas supplies where possible

Education and culture

  • Enrolling our team in the School of Sustainability to access cutting-edge learning
  • Promoting environmental awareness through regular Toolbox Talks and blog content
  • Maintaining best practice in waste management, pollution prevention and community care

These practices form the building blocks of our approach to environmental responsibility. We’re proud of how far we’ve come – but we’re always pushing for better: smarter systems, greener materials, and a more sustainable future for everyone.
