WJ’s approach to sustainability has placed the specialist highway contractor amongst the first UK companies to be awarded gold status by the supply chain sustainability school.

Twenty six of the UK’s top construction contractors, FM service providers, clients and suppliers are now partners to the School and are recommending the School as the ‘go to’ sustainability resource for their supply chains.

Launched in 2012, the School is a multi-award winning initiative which represents a common approach to addressing sustainability within our supply chains. With more than 8,000 members, the School provides free practical support in the form of e-learning modules, tailored self-assessment and action plans, sustainability training courses and networking opportunities.

Approximately 70% of WJ’s customer base consists of main contractor partners to the school.

“Sustainable development of our business is not just something we say, it really is embedded in our core operations and general business principles” states Paul Aldridge Managing Director of WJ South Limited.

Paul is the sustainability lead for the WJ Group and well supported by both a Quality Assurance and Environmental Manager and a Health Safety and Environmental Manager.

“WJ collaborate with our partners to deliver sustainably, alive to social and environmental impact whilst still operating profitably; it’s part of what we like to call behavioural efficiency with social responsibility. We believe that business can have a nett positive impact and our work with the school has helped cement that.” continued Paul.
