Our Commitment to the Planet

Environmental Responsibility at JDT

At JDT, we believe that our responsibility as a utility infrastructure partner extends beyond the services we provide. We are dedicated to protecting the environment and enhancing the positive impacts of our operations across every ecosystem in which we work. Our Chief Executive Officer and Board of Directors lead this commitment, ensuring that environmental protection is an integral part of our core business objectives.


Balancing Our Priorities

We recognise that sustainable success requires a careful balance between three essential business priorities: Planet, People, and Profit. This "triple bottom line" approach guides our environmental management strategy and ensures that our working practices remain safe, healthy, and forward-thinking.

Planet

Environmental protection and sustainability

People

Safety, health and wellbeing

Profit

Sustainable business growth


Core Principles and Standards

JDT operates with full accreditation to the ISO 14001:2015 Standard. To uphold this international benchmark, we adhere to several key principles:

  • We comply with all relevant environmental legislation, including the Environmental Protection Act 1990, and aim to exceed compliance obligations whenever practicable.
  • Our Environmental Management System (EMS) is subject to continual improvement to ensure our performance only gets stronger over time.
  • We actively work to reduce our carbon footprint and minimise our overall environmental impact across all projects.
  • Environmental awareness is fostered throughout our workforce through regular briefings and toolbox talks.

Our Sustainable Actions

To achieve our vision of a greener future, JDT strives to implement practical and impactful changes:

Resource Efficiency

We use natural resources more efficiently and promote materials that reduce our impact on climate change.

Waste Reduction

Our teams seek to reduce waste at the source and strive toward a goal of minimum waste to landfill.

Clean Operations

We make informed material choices to work toward the eradication of toxins and pollutants from our supply chains.

Continuous Monitoring

We monitor our environmental performance and maintain rigorous procedures to respond effectively to any environmental incidents.


A Collective Responsibility

Environmental management is integrated into every level of JDT. From our Managing Director, who promotes the policy, to our dedicated Health and Safety Managers and every employee on-site, we are all accountable for observing these procedures. We also require our suppliers and subcontractors to meet our high standards through our comprehensive supplier questionnaire process.
