Willmott Dixon has become the first contractor to achieve Level 3 of the Carbon Trust’s Supply Chain Standard, after working with subcontractors to reduce its energy use.
Willmott Dixon achieved a score of 82% under the standard, after working with supply chain partners TJL Plastering and McDermotts Building & Civil Engineering to create carbon management plans, including measures to reduce fuel use on site, reduce office energy use and create a more sustainable approach to transport.
