Sustainability

With a focus on our People, Planet and Profit, as one MHR we strive to make a difference.

Our commitment to sustainability

Our approach to sustainability touches every part of our company. From development, to the operations of our offices, and how we support our customers and local community. With a focus on our People, Planet and Profit, our initiatives are underpinned by our six priorities: Community, Climate, Resources, Trust, Generations and Equality.

Community

By working with local suppliers, hiring local talent and supporting charities, we are committed to making a difference to the community.

Climate

Acknowledging, understanding, and committing to a carbon neutral world is a key driver for our approach to sustainability and our business.

Resources

We use sustainable and renewable resources throughout our supply chain wherever possible – continuing our commitment to reducing our carbon footprint and impact on the planet.

Trust

Maintaining and building on the confidence we instil in our workforce we uphold fair social and ethical standards while promoting wellbeing initiatives.

Generations

From apprentice to senior manager, we commit to ongoing investment in our people through the delivery of training and professional development.

Equality

We recognise the need for greater initiatives to support diversity and inclusion in our company, within our industry and across the broader business landscape to help create equal opportunities for all.

Our commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals

In 2015 the UN outlined 17 sustainable development goals (UN SDGs) as part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development to develop a global framework; its goal to achieve a more sustainable future for all.

At MHR, we have cemented our sustainability priorities and commitment to support the UN SDGs in reinforcing their global strategy.
