Sustainability

The built environment can unlock a sustainable future, but only through decisive change.

While construction has lagged, Johnstone is stepping out front with on-the-ground action. We embed low and zero-carbon solutions into every project, designing resilient infrastructure that withstands harsher climates, revitalising inefficient assets, and curbing our demand for scarce raw materials. By rethinking how we source, build and renew, we help clients create places where communities flourish today and for generations to come.

Metrics and Goals

At Johnstone, ambition is measured, not hoped for. We translate every commitment, whether environmental, social, or operational into clear, time-bound goals supported by key performance indicators that are tracked from project inception to post-occupancy. Using site-level data capture and third-party verification, we establish a transparent feedback loop that shows project teams and clients exactly how we are progressing at any given moment.

Throughout construction, real-time monitoring of carbon, waste, water, safety and community engagement ensures that corrective action can be taken immediately, not retrospectively. Post-handover, operational performance is measured against design intent, creating a continuous learning cycle that informs our next project.

Sustainability

We embed sustainable thinking into every decision, from material selection and supply-chain partnerships to lifecycle performance so each project enhances environmental, social and economic value long after handover.

Climate Change

Extreme weather and shifting regulations demand resilient assets. Our design and engineering teams future-proof buildings and infrastructure through adaptive materials, passive design strategies and climate-risk modelling that safeguard both people and investment.

Carbon Emissions

Net-zero is our baseline ambition. We quantify embodied and operational carbon early, then drive it down with low-carbon materials, efficient building systems and renewable-ready designs, delivering transparent metrics you can share with stakeholders.

Waste Management

Through precise take-offs, off-site fabrication and circular-economy partnerships, we minimise waste at source and divert the remainder from landfill, turning potential scrap into valuable resources and cost savings.

Community Impact

Every project is an opportunity to uplift its surroundings. We prioritise local hiring, skills training and social-value initiatives that create lasting economic and cultural benefits well beyond the construction phase.
