It’s been almost one year since we published the Environmental Sustainability Strategy! 🌍 🌱 🛣 On Monday, an inspiring group of industry specialists met to share best practice partnership principles for achieving our commitments to Nature, Carbon and Communities: working together to achieve a richer, more resilient and a better connected natural environment; reduced pollution and increased community wellbeing; and meeting our commitments to reduce carbon emissions and support resilience to a changing climate. 🧑🤝🧑🌳🌼🚗 The Environmental Sustainability Conference explored: ✔️ our vision to deliver ambitious, positive change for nature, carbon and communities ✔️ how we will build a programme of environmental improvements ✔️ how we can work with partners to share experience and resources to achieve more together than we could separately We had guest speakers from Moors for the Future and the Environment Agency to help us understand how we can work closer together. We look forward to meeting with this group regularly to discuss progress and to continue to improve our ways of work. And with #NHNatureWeek on the way, the timing was great too!

To mark UN Biodiversity Day and #NHNatureWeek, we're hosting a webinar that will feature a summary of our vision for supporting nature positive and biodiversity net gain. There will also be an open panel discussion with Director of Environmental Sustainability Stephen Elderkin and Environmental Specialist at Kier Group Liam Harkin. The session is taking place on Thursday 23 May between 12pm and 1pm. Sign up now! ▶️ https://lnkd.in/e-jVGg-V

From a ‘Punch Bowl’ to a green bridge We’ve undertaken some ambitious projects over the years. The road we’re showcasing today as part of our #100YearsOfAroads celebrations is the A3. Over a decade ago, we opened the Hindhead Tunnel which took the A3 under the Devil’s Punch Bowl in Surrey and meant the old A3 could be restored to heathland. Today, as part of our upgrade to the A3 Wisley interchange at junction 10 of the M25, we’re reinstating lost heathland and creating the UK’s very first heathland bridge. ▶️ https://lnkd.in/dYhkry5s

For #NationalWalkingMonth, we want to highlight the work we're doing to encourage active travel. ✅ We worked with the National Trust to transform the Castlefield Viaduct into the 'garden in the sky'. Since it opened to the public, nearly 50,000 people have visited the viaduct. ✅ On the A27 East of Lewes, we created a new path for walkers, cyclists and horse riders between Firle and Polegate.
