What is an ESG strategy? What does a good ESG strategy look like? 🌎🤝💼 Creating an ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) strategy is essential for any forward-thinking business. Understanding why you're developing an ESG strategy and how it can benefit your business is the first step. By covering a mix of environmental, social, and governance strategies, you can drive your approach with a multi-pronged perspective, aligning with sustainable development goals and making meaningful decisions. Our Vision 2030 is an ambitious ESG project rooted in our company’s mantra, purpose, and values. We are committed to making a positive impact on the environment and society while maintaining profitability. Our vision is to be a leader in the construction industry, championing sustainability and responsible practices. Transparency and reporting are crucial parts of achieving our ESG goals. By being open about our progress and challenges, we can ensure accountability and continuous improvement. 🔗 Learn more about our Vision 2030 strategy on our website: https://buff.ly/3V9GgfZ #Sustainability #ESGStrategy #Vision2030 #EnvironmentalImpact #SocialResponsibility #Governance #ConstructionIndustry #SustainableDevelopment #Transparency #CorporateResponsibility

How did we integrate an innovative post & rail system with our vertical bar balustrades at this development in Chelsea Creek? Find out more in the full case study. 🔬 Chelsea Creek, a BERKELEY HOMES (OXFORD & CHILTERN) LIMITED project, offers European-style living in Central London. It provides a refreshingly unique urban lifestyle with tree-lined avenues and meandering waterways. Chelsea Creek is an incredibly fashionable waterside development with a perfect combination of style and tranquillity. Sapphire Balconies were commissioned to design and manufacture 183 balconies for this unique project. Due to the different style of structural posts included in this phase of the Chelsea Creek project, a new post & rail system was included, comprising a package of prefinished extruded aluminium profiles, easily assembled to provide a robust and attractive balustrade on the project. The post and rail system provides a mechanism to re-introduce glass and vertical bars to balcony designs, whilst also allowing the incorporation of alternative infill materials. 🔗 Read the full Chelsea Creek case study here: https://buff.ly/4eoCnKE #ResidentialConstruction #CaseStudy #Innovation #PostRail #Chelsea #MMC #LondonConstruction #Technology

“From a building manager’s point of view, I’ve had no problems at all – ten out of ten.” - Iestyn Francis, Building Manager, Willmott Dixon 🌟 We're pleased to announce that we've been awarded "Snag-Free" status as part of a Defect Free Handover Award from Willmott Dixon for our balcony manufacture and supply at Millwrights Place & Coopers Court, a brand new development in the centre of Bristol! Situated over the river from Bristol’s historic Castle Park, Millwrights Place is just a stone’s throw from the city centre and this brand-new development of 231 private rental apartments provides both amenities for the working population and a useful link to the city centre. Sapphire approached the challenges faced by Willmott Dixon with quick and simple solutions. Our offsite production facilities allowed us to manufacture all the balconies ahead of time and deliver them to the site once ready, meaning balconies were able to be fit onto the building without the need for cumbersome onsite storage. 🔗 To see how Sapphire helped to deliver a seamless, snag-free installation for Willmott Dixon at Millwrights Place, visit our website and view the full case study: https://buff.ly/3NVGxii #Bristol #Construction #CaseStudy #Development #BuildingManager

At Sapphire, giving back is more than a value; it’s our commitment to building a brighter, stronger community. 🍎 Recently, our team joined Vistry Group’s Dragon Boat Race, raising over £1,600 for SSAFA the Armed Forces charity, a cause we are honoured to support. This event is part of a broader commitment: each quarter, our team chooses a new charity, raising funds through team challenges, in-office fundraising, and spreading awareness across our network. Over the years, we’ve had the privilege of supporting impactful organizations, including Thames Valley Air Ambulance, PAPYRUS Prevention of Young Suicide, British Heart Foundation, Macmillan Cancer Support, and Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity, contributing thousands of pounds to vital causes. Our commitment goes beyond fundraising. We’re long-standing supporters of the Rapid Relief Team (RRT) United Kingdom, where many of our team members volunteer their time. RRT mobilizes globally to offer critical aid in natural disasters, healthcare challenges, and homelessness, and we’re proud to support their mission. 🔗 Find out more about Sapphire's commitment to charitable giving on our website: https://buff.ly/3CaZgDP #CommunitySupport #Charity #GivingBack #SapphireTeam #VistryGroup #SSAFA #DragonBoatRace #MakingADifference
