NG Bailey Net Zero target validated by leading environmental body

NG Bailey FM

NG Bailey has become one of the first construction and engineering companies in the UK to have its long-term target to achieve Net Zero emissions
by 2045 approved by the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTI).

The engineering and services business has set a target to achieve Net Zero by 2045 for its scope 1, 2 and 3 greenhouse gas emissions.

As part of its long-term target, NG Bailey has committed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions for sources it owns or controls directly (Scope 1 and 2) by 90%, as well as reducing emissions from its wider supply chain (Scope 3) by 90% by 2045.

The new target is in addition to its existing near-term targets, approved in 2022, which include a commitment to reduce absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2031, and that 75% of its suppliers will have science based targets in place themselves by FY2027.

Natalie Wilkinson, Head of Responsibility at NG Bailey, said: “We have a long history of being a responsible business and were proud to become one of the first UK construction and engineering businesses in the UK to have our near-term science based targets validated in 2023. Receiving this latest validation from the Science Based Targets Initiative for our long-term Net Zero target demonstrates just how seriously we are taking this as a business and our ongoing commitment to put more into society, the environment and the global economy than we take out.”
