SUSTAINABILITY AT CHARGE

Charge is committed to quality construction and dedicated to understanding the environmental impacts of our services and activities to identify ways to reduce those impacts through better choices and planning.

Charge has adopted an Environmental Management System (EMS), which outlines how we will include the consideration of all environmental issues in all business strategies and initiatives, ensure sustainability remains core to our company values, guide employees to carry out environmental procedures, and continually improve our environmental performance. Our goal is to reduce the company’s environmental footprint within all sectors of our business and ensure sustainability is a focus throughout the duration of our projects.
