ESG

At Socket, we help our clients set realistic but demanding environmental targets. 

Thinking ahead 

Focusing on this before picking up a pen is hugely beneficial. Typically this is considered at procurement stage, which is too late. We have the experience to guide clients early on. And we focus on getting supply chain buy-in.

Accountability made simple

With all projects, we can provide clear, concise reporting updates on embodied carbon targets to help clients stay accountable.

Circular Economy

Championing a Circular Economy, we can advise on practical project implementation.

Biodiversity 

Holding the primary opportunities for biodiversity and greening, we work with building developers to set a sensible method for apportioning carbon credits. 

We facilitate clients' support of teams and communities. As people’s people, we’re already off to a running start.

Diverse supply chain 

Support to consider local or less well known suppliers where commercially possible, diversifying the supply chain. 

Bringing together potential apprentices with opportunities over the development ecosystem. 

Community focus

On top of regular public consultations throughout planning and development, we can work with access consultants to convene public realm design reviews with specific (e.g., marginalised) groups, making sure projects are serving the whole community. 

We help make good governance simple. 

Removing Ambiguity 

Our straightforward approach means clear progress reporting, transparent project approvals, easy to understand due-diligence and performance reviews. We simplify disparate processes, keep track over what can be multiple layers of governance, and provide advice where it’s needed - for example, on the correct levels of delegated approvals.

Considerate Constructors 

We support the Considerate Constructors scheme’s Code of Considerate Practice. The code supports environmentally and socially respectful ways of working.
