World Environment Day 2025: Our Journey to Net Zero at MACS

This World Environment Day, we’re taking a moment to reflect on how far we’ve come, and where we’re headed in our drive towards Net Carbon Zero.

At MACS, sustainability isn’t a buzzword it’s built into everything we do. Whether we’re working with clients, suppliers, or our own teams, we know every action matters. That’s why we’ve made environmental responsibility a core part of our Social Value Strategy.

Building a Greener, Smarter Future

We’re on a mission to help shape a more sustainable world, one smarter, greener infrastructure project at a time. That means:

  • Delivering low-impact, environmentally responsible solutions
  • Collaborating with clients for greener outcomes
  • Measuring and actively reducing our carbon footprint
  • Partnering with ethical, sustainable suppliers

Turning Vision Into Action

To make this real, we’ve built a strong internal team of social and environmental champions and a robust data-driven approach to track our impact. We’re also aligning with national Social Value frameworks (like PPN 06/20) to make sure we’re measuring what matters.

How We’re Cutting Carbon

We’ve rolled out a range of carbon-cutting initiatives across the business:

Energy Efficiency:

  • Moved our technology infrastructure to the cloud
  • Retrofitted our buildings with smart systems
  • Upgraded to energy-efficient technology
  • Installed smart energy management systems

Renewables:

  • Our UK HQ is gas-free and powered by 100% renewable energy
  • Solar panels are powering our Dutch office

Sustainable Transport:

  • EVs in our company car fleet
  • Encouraging cycling, carpooling & public transport
  • Carbon offset options for business travel

Waste & Supply Chain:

  • Company-wide recycling
  • Kitchens designed to cut single-use plastics
  • Working with local, ethical suppliers to reduce transport emissions

Measuring What Matters

We use IoT sensors, smart meters, and Asset Lifecycle Management platforms like TRIRIGA, Maximo and Envizi to track and share real-time environmental data across our projects and offices. This helps us:

  • Understand and improve our energy use
  • Stay compliant with global standards
  • Keep improving with better data

The Road to Net Zero by 2050

We’ve set bold targets to hit Net Zero:

  • Gas-free offices by 2025
  • 100% renewable office power by 2030
  • Fully electric company car fleet by 2025
  • 100% renewable cloud infrastructure by 2025
  • Collaborating across our supply chain to cut Scope 2 & 3 emissions

Helping Clients Do the Same

Our sustainability tools go beyond our walls. Through platforms like Envizi, IoT integration, and digital twins, we’re helping our clients make smarter, greener decisions.

This World Environment Day, we’re proud of the progress we’ve made, but we know the journey’s far from over. The road to Net Zero is long, but we’re moving with purpose.

Let’s keep driving change together.
