Quickjump:
As an industry leader in the fields of construction, engineering, housing and property development, we are fully aware of the positive and negative impacts that our activities could have on the natural and built environment.

Implementation of our ISO 14001 certified environmental management system (EMS) , covering 96 percent of the M J Gleeson Group turnover, ensures that we strive to continually improve our environmental performance far beyond the legal requirements, minimising the environmental impacts of our activities.

We appreciate that achieving certification to ISO 14001 is just the starting point for environmental management at Gleeson.

Follow the environmental pages listed opposite to find out what we have been up to and where Gleeson's environmental management is going from here.


The Gleeson Group operates in three interlinked sectors – construction services, including civil and process engineering, building and a range of specialist services; homes in the high value residential sector and regeneration for lower cost traditional development; and the development of commercial and industrial property, either for sale or investment.

We are committed to minimising the environmental impact of our activities and aim to achieve continuous improvement in environmental
performance by:

Setting annual environmental objectives and targets, and monitoring performance   Monitoring and reviewing environmental procedures and auditing compliance to ensure standards are being maintained whilst highlighting potential areas for improvement
Encouraging sub-contractors, designers and suppliers to adopt environmental policies and management systems that are satisfactory to us   Reducing the environmental impacts of our sites and their effects on their local communities by adopting reasonable controls for preventing air, ground, water or noise pollution and keeping sites clean and tidy
Communicating with local communities and others with an interest in our environmental policies, plans and performance   Making use of opportunities to minimise waste and to reuse or recycle materials
Training employees and promoting environmental awareness and commitment   Keeping abreast of and complying with legislation, regulations and codes of practice on environmental matters relevant to our operations

Each Divisional Managing Director is responsible to the Main Board of Directors for ensuring compliance with the Group's policy and reviewing performance within his operating unit.
