Morgan Sindall Group’s overarching new climate strategy was published in February. Its overarching 2030 net-zero target is underpinned by science-based targets to reduce Scope 1 (direct) and Scope 2 (power-related) emissions by 30% and Scope 3 (indirect) emissions by 60%, before offsetting residual emissions via UK-based projects.
