Responsible Approach
At CPW we believe that it is our duty to our clients, the communities we work within and also the planet to implement a truly responsible approach to MEP engineering.
As a company we are on a mission to build Zero-Carbon buildings to help sustain better lives for many generations. Buildings which minimise their impact on the environment, whilst improving the lives of those who inhabit them.
In order to deliver upon this purpose-led approach it is vital that we hold ourselves to a certain standard. That is why we have created a new e-book, CPW : Our blueprint for responsible engineering, to not only align our thinking but also help raise industry standards as a whole.
The e-book looks at the five pillars of activity which are intrinsic to our business and define our responsible approach; Sustainability, Innovation, Social Value, Our People and Our Clients. Each pillar is as important as the other. Together, they form the foundations of what makes CPW unique and showcase our commitment to solving the world’s problems.
We hope this report will allow you to learn a bit more about us and who we are as people, so you can understand us as an organisation. Within the report we detail our approach to each of the pillars, in terms of what we do internally, as well as the specialisms we can offer our clients. We’re looking to bring responsible engineering to the world and our commitment to the five pillars helps us realise this.
As part of our work, we use the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), as the benchmark to evaluate ourselves against and ensure we’re making the necessary progression. The UN’s SDGs are a collection of 17 interlinked global goals designed to be a “blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all”. They speak to sustainability in a wider and more holistic sense. And they encompass strategies that address a range of social needs, from education and health to social protection. Whilst also tackling climate change and environmental protection.
There’s a world we’re designing through our buildings. A world that brings together people and organisations. A world we create everyday on our client projects and one we want to give you a glimpse into...
Anna Lorf, winner of the most improved student award, said: “My project was a science educational centre and the site I chose was on Crocus Street, Nottingham. My project was largely inspired after I visited a science centre in Copenhagen, called the Experimentaruim, where children can learn through fun activities.
“I felt very honoured to have won an award, it made me feel very proud of what I have achieved during my years at university. To be recognised by industry professionals is fantastic and I’m glad they enjoyed my work as much as I did this year.”
Ellen Brown, winner of the best technical response award, added: “I was so shocked to win the award, I really wasn’t expecting to hear my name called out that evening. It was a much-needed confidence boost and I’ve proudly listed the award on my CV.”
