With many of the world’s leaders in Glasgow for COP26, the Chevron Group is proud to announce our commitment to setting Scienced Based Targets (SBT’s) to ensure we play our part by taking urgent and sustained action to reduce our carbon footprint in alignment with the climate science.

The Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) is the recognised way for organisations to set carbon reduction targets that will limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius and prevent the worst effects of climate change. Businesses have a vital part to play in building a low carbon economy and by grounding our targeting setting in science, we can be sure that the Chevron Group is taking sufficient enough action to make a difference.

The Chevron Group has long been aware of its environmental impact, having implemented ISO14001 Environmental Management in 2017 and ISO50001 Energy Management in 2019.

These frameworks have ensured we see environmental improvement projects as ‘business as usual’, regularly investigating and implementing potential projects such as rainwater harvesting and the installation of LED lighting. However, the urgency of the climate crisis is becoming increasingly apparent, and we recognise that we need to set ambitious targets to take positive climate action.

We are finalising our Net Zero strategy, which will be published in 2022. A key focus area for the Chevron Group is investing in innovative technology and digital solutions that aim to eliminate unnecessary carbon from existing temporary traffic management processes, and we are working closely with our sister company, Highway Resource Solutions (HRS), to do this.

Jamie Bowen, Head of ESG and Improvement commented: “We believe that our employees want to work for a company that protects not only their physical and mental health, but also the health of the planet, ensuring that future generations will inherit a thriving and sustainable world. Our sustainability policy sets out our framework for creating a sustainable business, sustainable communities, and sustainable relationships, and achieving our Net Zero targets are an integral aspect of achieving this. The Chevron Group is looking forward to working closely with our customers, supply chain, and other stakeholders to realise this goal.”

Thank you for your help. The works to the bridge were completed and great teamwork from both crews. I had a good view from the bridge and was very impressed by their work. Always said it....TM is an art form!

Please accept our thanks your team’s efforts on this project. Chevron have been brilliant, nothing has been too much to ask of you and we have delivered to programme despite the complexities of working at these junctions. Look forward to working with you in the future, I think it’s forged a good relationship between us.

Marlow Carnival 2017

Can I please express my thanks on behalf of everyone at Kier for the exceptional aptitude and attitude shown by one of your site teams who were engaged in a recent local community project. As with any town centre closure there were some ‘challenges’ thrown at the crew but their attitude and commitment to the safety of the children, parents and support groups was second to none. It’s lovely to be able to write this reference to your colleagues, please pass on my most sincere thanks.

Area 3 ASC- Emergency Narrow Lane Scheme, M27 J12

Another great success for Area 3. To turn this around in such a short space of time due to the nature of the repair and the location is a credit to you and your teams. Well done!

A404 Resurfacing

Could I say a big thank you to yourselves and to all your crews which were on site at the A404 Resurfacing scheme last night. I have spoken to the Tarmac site supervisor from the Chieveley depot this morning who was very appreciative of how helpful and how good it was to work with the crew that was on site.
