Ethically and responsibly managing all aspects of our operations.
Ardmac is fully committed to ethically and responsibly managing all aspects of our operations with respect to our employees, clients, neighbours, local communities, and all stakeholders.
When we succeed, our staff, community and society does too. By encouraging wellbeing, giving back to our community and working in sustainable ways, we not only improve people’s lives but also our business. Our Sky Blue program is our ESG framework guiding our responsible business approach and outlining our sustainability commitments.
Our Sustainability Journey
Sustainability isn’t just a goal—it’s part of who we are. Through Sky Blue, our ESG programme, we drive real change, embedding sustainability into our strategy and daily operations. We know there’s more to do, and we’re committed to a cleaner, greener future.
Our leader-led ESG group oversees progress, focusing on Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. Partnering with EcoVadis, CDP, and SBTi, we benchmark, improve, and ensure compliance with sustainability standards.
Sustainability in Action
From modeling embodied carbon on all projects to developing a sustainability labeling system for modular builds, we help clients make informed, low-carbon choices. Our in-house BIM team supports this by prioritising sustainable materials and smarter design.
Driving Industry-Wide Impact
Sustainability extends beyond our business. We collaborate with suppliers, setting higher environmental standards. Partnering with Dagard, we secured Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for cleanroom materials, setting a new industry benchmark.
Achieving ISO 20400 certification in sustainable procurement reinforces our commitment. By prioritising ethical sourcing and encouraging suppliers to adopt EPDs, we drive positive change across the industry.
At Ardmac, sustainability isn’t just responsibility—it’s action.
We have placed Sky Blue at the heart of Ardmac’s agenda.
“It’s taken time but our sustainable practices are now firmly embedded in our corporate agenda. We don’t just talk about sustainability, there’s real substance behind our actions, and we aim to have authentic, transparent conversations about our progress along the way.”
Diarmaid Magee, Director of SHEQ
A Group Effort
We are immensely proud of the progress we have made on our sustainability journey. We are excited for what comes next and remain dedicated to creating long-term value for all our stakeholders. Over the coming months, we’ll be collaborating very closely with our colleagues across the Purever Group to develop a groupwide ESG strategy, uniting our efforts on a global scale. We know that together we can achieve something incredible, setting new standards for sustainability that support a sustainable, impactful future that enables future generations to thrive.
“We’ve taken a leadership first approach to sustainability through our dedicated environmental, social, and governance (ESG) programme, Sky Blue, which allows us to ethically and responsibly manage all aspects of our operations.”
