The Plant, Tools and Equipment Charter

The School will lead the way for the UK’s built environment to drastically reduce onsite emissions to air that are harmful to human health and the planet.

The Charter is an outward declaration that organisations are serious about taking action to reduce air quality impacts and carbon emissions. It is based on the Minimum Standards that the Group has developed. They are interlinked documents that describe the actions the sector should be undertaking to address the emissions from plant they buy or rent.

The key topics for action are:

• Addressing and reducing tailpipe emissions;
• Engaging stakeholders such as clients, suppliers and trade associations on your actions to reduce emissions;
• Training your staff and associates on why and how you are reducing the emissions; and
• What innovative actions you are taking, whether it’s technological or measuring the embodied carbon of plant.
