At FP McCann, we are committed to building a sustainable future. As a leading subcontractor in precast concrete and construction materials, we recognise our responsibility to drive meaningful change. This video outlines our carbon reduction journey, the progress we have made, and our roadmap to reach Net Zero by 2050.
Key Milestones & Achievements:
- Halved Carbon Intensity: We have reduced our carbon intensity by 53.3% per million pounds of turnover since 2020.
- Energy Transition: Fossil fuel consumption has dropped by 46.9%, while our use of bioenergy has increased by over 56%.
- Renewable Power: We have installed over 2.6MW of solar capacity across our facilities, generating over 2GWh of clean electricity. Our Ellistown and Lydney depots are now powered by 100% renewable electricity.
- Smarter Manufacturing: Through lean manufacturing and cutting-edge technology like AI-driven quality control, we have achieved a 40% reduction in water use and a 95% reduction in waste to landfill since 2008.
- Biodiversity: We have planted almost 30,000 native trees across 50 acres since 2022 to sequester carbon and restore vital habitats.
Pioneering Low-Carbon Products:
We are proud to introduce our bespoke low-carbon product range, including the UK's first cement-free precast manhole rings and pipes. Utilising an innovative Earth-Friendly Concrete (EFC) geopolymer binder, these products offer up to an 80% reduction in embodied CO2 compared to traditional concrete, without compromising on strength or durability. We are also advancing material innovation with graphene-enhanced roof tiles, reducing clinker content by 15-20%.
Our pledge is clear: to reduce carbon emissions by 50% within five years and achieve Net Zero by 2050. This journey is a collective effort, and we are committed to meeting today's needs while protecting the future.
For further information about our extensive range of sustainable products and services, please speak to your FP McCann sales representative or visit our website to see how we can assist with the design, manufacture, and installation of your next project.
