Environment
‘Summit 2026’ is Esh Construction’s long-term sustainability strategy, helping us to communicate and promote our stainability priorities to our clients, supply chain, staff and communities.
Our ambition is to be regarded as one of the leading sustainable construction firms in the UK, recognised for our environmentally minded culture, embracing the principles of the circular economy and helping our clients and supply chain partners reduce their environmental impact.
All of our operations are certified to the ISO14001 environmental management system standard, this combined with the proactive actions taken through Summit 2026 ensures that we carry out our duty to protect the environment, on our sites and in our offices.
Summit 2026 focuses on 4 key environmental areas to help drive progress towards our overall objective of sustainable construction.

Health and Safety

Our number one priority is the safety of our workforce, supply-chain and the communities in which we work. We strive for zero harm and are proud of our safety record – our performance exceeds the industry average.
Everyone Safely Home (ESH) is our integrated Health & Safety campaign which encompasses our policies, procedures, targets and goals for Health, Safety and Wellbeing across the Group ensuring we not only meet our legal and moral obligations, but we strive to exceed these standards.
We believe Health & Safety is everyone’s responsibility – regardless of job role – we encourage everyone to take personal responsibility for their actions and to help others. Strong visible leadership is key, with board members and directors attending our sites and offices regularly.
All of our operations are ISO 45001 certified ensuring we deliver occupational management best practice, alongside ISO 14001 (environmental management) and ISO 9001 (quality management) standards.
Mental Health
We are doing our part to affect change in the UK construction industry by working with our employees, subcontractors and supply chain to remove the stigma of mental health, raise awareness of symptoms and remedies and provide the best quality support to those in need.
We have partnered with Mental Health First Aiders England to train ‘Mental Health First Aiders.’
To date 1-in-20 members of Esh staff are trained Mental Health First Aiders. We offer ‘Mental Health First Aid’ support though discreet 1-to-1 sessions and hold regular meetings with our HR and divisional directors to discuss how we can imporve our support.
We include Mental Health toolbox talks in our day to day site operations and have call cards and promote the use of the Construction Industry Helpline App.
