At Collen, sustainability is embedded in every stage of how we build. The construction sector has a central role to play in addressing climate change, protecting natural resources and supporting resilient communities. Our approach is guided by our core value of Sustainability, supported by ISO-certified management systems and a commitment to continuous improvement across environmental, social and governance priorities.

Carbon Reduction
We align with the Paris Agreement 2030 targets, the EU Green Deal and wider European requirements to reduce environmental impact and contribute to a low-carbon future. Measures include the use of hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) fuel, renewable energy sources and energy-efficient site operations, all contributing to measurable reductions in carbon emissions.
Circular Economy and Resource Efficiency
Circular economy principles are central to our resource strategy. We maximise reuse and recycling of materials and apply by-product notifications that divert thousands of tonnes of soil and stone from landfill each year. At project level, we invest in technologies such as solar microgeneration, battery storage and water filtration systems to minimise environmental impact and increase efficiency.
Biodiversity and Environmental Legacy
Our commitment extends beyond construction activity. We promote biodiversity through pollinator-friendly planting, habitat protection and reforestation projects, creating positive long-term outcomes for the environments in which we work.
Community Engagement
Sustainability at Collen also involves active engagement with our people and communities. Initiatives range from beach clean-ups to education partnerships, embedding awareness and responsibility at every level.
