our values

  • The UK construction industry uses more than 400 million tonnes of materials every year, making it the nation’s largest consumer of natural resources. So it’s important to reduce the impact of materials used. At Custodian, responsible sourcing is demonstrated through an ethos of supply chain management and product stewardship, which encompasses social, economic and environmental dimensions.

    Responsible sourcing of construction products provides a holistic approach to managing a product from the point at which a material is mined or harvested (in its raw state) through manufacture and processing. It also monitors the use, re-use and recycling process, until its final disposal as waste with no further value.

  • To offset the impact of our carbon footprint on the way to a Net Zero Carbon Development, our vehicles will be 100% emission free, fully electric by 2030. In this way, even our smallest journeys have no impact on the environment.

  • At Custodian, we pride ourselves on minimising our impact on the environment. Reducing the use of paper saves trees and conserves energy used in converting those trees into paper and in transporting paper products. Every transaction we undertake is completely digital.

  • During the planning and design phase, we consider sustainable site design techniques that promote water conservation. This may involve designing landscapes with native and drought-tolerant plants that require minimal irrigation. Incorporating permeable surfaces can also help minimize stormwater runoff and allow for natural groundwater recharge.
