Working with GGE has enabled us to not only conform with recent legislation changes, but also to adapt our business and future strategy by looking to embrace alternative technologies in assisting our business to become both more environmentally conscious and efficient.
Wynne has been a client of Go Green Experts (GGE) for over 4 years and in that time GGE been a key partner for Wynne, supporting our client on their sustainability journey. Initially GGE helped Wynne set ambitious Net Zero targets with a supporting action plan. The robustness of this plan has since helped Wynne to be successful in numerous tender bids – adding £millions to their top line.
Wynne manages dozens of construction sites each year, and it is the work on these sites, coupled with decisions made at the design stage of the construction process that ultimately drives most of Wynne’s Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. Wynne was aware of various decarbonisation options for their sites but were uncertain about how to select the most effective solutions and implement them successfully.
To tackle this challenge, Wynne partnered with GGE who gathered in depth data of activity across 14 construction sites. From this data gathering exercise it became clear that emisisons fell into a small number of distinct “business” categories, which each had a clear decarbonisation pathway. Leveraging our expertise in data analytics, energy management, fleet, and building material emissions, Go Green Experts conducted a structured commercial analysis. This involved benchmarking client performance against external market standards and
identifying additional areas for commercial value in achieving Net Zero.
A key insight here is that activity data capture and GHG calculations at the construction site level need to become increasingly robust over time, and the correct software embedded into the organisation for capturing and reporting on the data is vital. This is a key step which is
specific to the construction industry as construction sites change regularly and can span multiple time periods. The decarbonisation process is made a lot easier by focussing on this data capture and reporting as a priority.
A structured plan was approved, outlining an achievable, time-bound trajectory towards Net Zero emissions by 2040 and a 50% reduction by 2030. This plan provided Wynne with a commercially viable framework for integrating Net Zero into their operational DNA, empowering them to execute a clearly defined programme of work packages.
