Green commitment
Scott Adams , Director , adds : “ We have developed a framework within the business to enable our employees to progress with a transparent pathway . For instance , in our design department , we have introduced an internal apprenticeship program . We provide a more industry focused learning experience rather than just developing skills they learned in university ; we also measure their performance against what we require and track their development within Hopkins .”
Addressing the topic of sustainability , Scott outlines the various ways in which Hopkins is enhancing its operations to become more environmentally conscious . “ We are continuously expanding our electric vehicle fleet and upgrading to more efficient commercial vehicles . We also work closely with our supply chain to reduce waste when sourcing and supplying materials for site . In our offices , we ’ ve implemented sustainable initiatives such as heat pumps , solar energy , and waste management
plans , all aimed at significantly reducing our
carbon footprint over the next five years .
“ On the project side , we ’ re heavily involved in the decarbonisation and energy sectors , reflecting our commitment to promoting sustainability . This includes numerous battery augmentation schemes across the UK , ongoing commercial solar projects , and shoreto-ship charging systems for large commercial vessels . Essentially , we ’ re active in any area related to sustainability , decarbonisation , and electrification - from consultation and funding to delivery ,” he explains .
Building on its successful track record and reputation , Hopkins consistently delivers ground-breaking sustainable projects across various sectors and locations by leveraging the expertise of its talented team . ■
