BECOMING A SUSTAINABLY DEVELOPED BUSINESS
Our JOURNEY:
At EBM, our sustainability journey began in 2022, when we started collaborating with a carbon footprint certification provider that helps us turn raw data into actionable insights through detailed reports and annual carbon footprint analysis. This collaboration has been crucial in setting clear targets and holding us accountable for reducing our carbon impact year after year.
We extend this commitment to our suppliers by encouraging them to adopt greener practices. Through open conversations and collaboration, we aim to create a more sustainable and ethical supply chain, driving lasting change across the industry.
We’re also dedicated to making a positive social impact. Beyond environmental efforts, we focus on giving back to our local communities, whether through supporting foodbanks or other initiatives. Our journey is ongoing, and we’re committed to doing even more to drive positive change for both the planet and the people we serve.
Our future Vision:
At EBM, we’re committed to measuring and reducing our carbon footprint across all areas of our business. By regularly assessing our environmental impact, we ensure continuous improvement in minimizing emissions and adopting sustainable solutions in every project.
We lead by example, inspiring others in the industry to prioritize sustainability. Through collaboration with our suppliers, partners, and clients, we foster a culture of environmental responsibility and encourage meaningful action toward reducing their impacts.
Our commitment also extends to creating positive social value. We strengthen ties with local communities, supporting initiatives like foodbanks and others that make a difference. As we move forward, we’re excited to continue driving positive change for both the environment and society.
Our Commitment:
In today’s world, environmental challenges are one of the most pressing issues businesses face. As a key player in the built environment, we recognise our responsibility to operate with integrity and prioritise sustainability. As a growing business, we’ve embraced the importance of sustainability from the start, and we are committed to setting a positive example for our employees, supply chain, and the wider community.
At EBM, we are dedicated to investing time, research, and resources into advancing sustainable practices across all aspects of our operations. Our primary goal is to minimize our environmental impact by reducing our carbon footprint while simultaneously driving positive change within the construction industry, with a focus on environmental responsibility.
For us, sustainability is not just a goal—it’s central to our mission.

Steve Mildren,
Managing director
"As the managing director of EBM Electrical Services Ltd, I recognise that business sustainability is not just a buzzword, but a fundamental principle that shapes our operations longevity within our business. We are committed to implementing sustainable processes into every aspect of our business, from procurement to project delivery and beyond.
In the rapidly evolving landscape of the electrical industry, sustainability is not only an ethical imperative but also a strategic advantage. By prioritising energy-efficient solutions, through our technical team, reducing waste, and embracing renewable technologies, we not only minimise our environmental footprint but also enhance our competitiveness in the market.
Our dedication to sustainability extends beyond our immediate operations to our broader impact on the community and the planet. We actively seek partnerships with suppliers who share our commitment to ethical and sustainable processes, and we engage with clients to deliver solutions that prioritise long-term environmental and social benefits. We recognise that our actions today will shape the world of tomorrow. By embracing sustainability as a core value, we not only safeguard the future of our business but also contribute to building a more resilient and equitable society for generations to come".
Becoming sustainable
Working with
We’re proud to announce that we have achieved the planet mark business Certification, furthering our commitment to reduce our impact on society. This is an incredible achievement involving the entire business.
The Planet Mark Business Certification is an internationally recognised sustainability certification for all organisations acknowledging continuous progress, encouraging action and building an empowered community of like-minded individuals.
In order to achieve this sustainability certification, we’ve followed a robust three-step process: Measuring our impact, engaging everyone in the business and communicating our progress. We have measured our own carbon footprint and will continue to take responsibility of our carbon emissions to have a positive impact on planet and society. We are also contributing to the UN SDG's (Sustainable Development Goals) as we believe that it’s important, more than ever, to do more good and create a sustainable future.
Our entire business has contributed to our achievement in becoming Planet Mark certified, and every individual will continue to play an important role in our sustainability commitment.
We want to continue to have a positive impact through our business and hope that we can empower our community to take climate action.
We hope that you will join us in this movement for change. We encourage you to get in touch if you would like further details on our journey. Please click the link below to view EBM's baseline year report.
