SUSTAINABLE WORKPLACES
At Claremont, we are a carbon neutral company and have been for two years. In fact, we are on track to retain this status for our third year running. But we aren’t stopping there! We have clear ESG goals set out for the year ahead. Sustainability is something we’re genuinely passionate about and we’re proud to be a leader in sustainability in our sector.

Sustainability starts at the top
For Claremont, balancing environmental impact, social wellbeing, and stakeholder values is crucial. By monitoring energy use, community engagement, and sustainable practices, we aim to reduce carbon emissions, enhance positive impacts, and inspire continual improvements within our community
Our environmental approach
ESG stands for Environmental, Social Impact and Governance, and this approach is at the heart of how we achieve success in sustainability within Claremont.
Environmental - Creating a Sustainable Future
We’ve been carbon neutral for two years and are on track for a third. Our goals include reducing our carbon footprint by 10% annually and recycling 100% of site waste.
We’re upgrading to electric vehicles, have installed solar panels at our Warrington Design Studio, and provide onsite EV charging and an electric car scheme.
Our in-house carbon monitoring tool helps predict and reduce carbon footprints in client projects. We also run regular sustainability workshops to enhance our team’s and supply chain’s knowledge for sustainable workplace design and construction.
Social Impact - Creating an Impact on behalf of our Communities, Colleagues & Clients
We prioritise hiring local trades & suppliers to ensure money stays within our communities and offer annual apprenticeships, including a BAME Design Scholarship, while also supporting our supply chain in finding apprentices.
As a proud living wage provider and employee-owned company, our social impact value over the past two years exceeded £1.1 million, as measured and certified by Planet Mark. Each year, we commit to supporting a local North West charity, raising over £16,000 for Clatterbridge Cancer Charity last year
Governance - Creating a business to be proud of
Claremont proudly operates as an Employee Owned Business, ensuring transparency and longevity with a clear platform for succession overseen by our Employee Trust Board, composed of colleague representatives.
Transparency is integral to our approach, making information readily accessible across all aspects of our business. As living wage and living hours providers, we maintain a strong track record of employee retention.
Our operations are supported by a transparent and robust Integrated Management System (IMS) bolstered by our ISO certifications.

Our sustainability journey so far
Powered by the sun
Our Solar Panels have recently been installed on our Warrington Design Studio by the wonderful team at Eco Mirage Ltd, supporting us in our journey to Carbon Net Zero. Through installing the panels we can expect to see: 12 Tons of CO2 avoided per year. A reduction in our Design Studio’s Carbon Footprint by 35% year on year. When generated energy is not required by us, we’ll give back green, clean energy to the grid. We firmly believe that businesses play a vital role in shaping a more sustainable and equitable future.
Our sustainability accreditations
We take immense pride in our accreditations by sustainable organisations. Being recognised validates our unwavering commitment to the environment, social responsibility and ethical practices. It underpins our dedication to building a sustainable future and upholding the highest standards in all aspects of our operations.
Our most sustainable fit-outs
We’re proud to work on office spaces with clients who value sustainability as much as we do. Here are a few great examples of what we did, and the considerations we made during planning and execution.
