Environment, Social and Governance (ESG)
Carlisle is committed to fostering wellbeing, safety, and opportunity for our people and the communities we serve.
Embedding sustainability, ethics, and leadership in everything we do
Our ESG commitment
At Carlisle, ESG is not an initiative, it’s an operating principle. Our ESG report demonstrates how sustainability, social responsibility, and governance are embedded into the core of our business model, shaping both our operational integrity and our long-term impact.
Some of our highlights from 2024 include:
reduction in Scope 1 and 2 carbon from last year's baseline
of our clients have committed to paying Real Living Wage rates
reduction in all accident types across the business
As a trusted partner for value-added solutions, Carlisle is committed to ESG excellence. From removing subcontracting across core roles to expanding our electric fleet and reinforcing anti-slavery protocols, we integrate responsibility into every layer of our business. Our strategies are people-focused, data-led and industry-leading, ensuring Carlisle remains a force for positive change across our workforce, clients, and communities.
Carlisle Support Services is committed to achieving Net Zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040 for Scope 1 and 2, and by 2045 for Scope 3, in line with UK Government policy and PPN 06/21 requirements. Our Carbon Reduction Plan outlines the steps we are taking, our targets, and how we are measuring progress towards a more sustainable future.
Environment
With a 21% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions and a 12% drop in Scope 3 since 2021, our progress is measurable and accelerating. Key enablers include increased adoption of electric and hybrid vehicles, low-GWP materials, and the ISO 14001 certification of over half our facilities. We’ve already surpassed 1 million tons of waste diverted and are targeting 2 million by 2030. This isn’t just carbon reduction – it’s systems-level transformation.
Social
Significantly redefined ethical employment by eliminating subcontracting for core roles, ensuring direct accountability, better conditions, and long-term stability for our people. Our stance on modern slavery is uncompromising and underpinned by mandatory training and rigorous supply chain controls. Resulting in a workforce model that values dignity, transparency, and trust.
Governance
Our governance framework includes comprehensive risk management and legal compliance, which support a strong corporate reputation and long-term resilience. We view governance not just as a regulatory requirement, but as a strategic enabler of sustainable growth, employee engagement, and long-term competitiveness.
Supporting every aspect of employee wellbeing
Our people, our priority
At Carlisle, we believe wellbeing goes beyond the workplace. From mental health support and financial wellbeing resources to continuous learning opportunities. We provide an environment where every employee can thrive personally and professionally.
