Space
Structured for
survival and growth
Our vision, which is to be the standard for excellence in specialist construction projects, manifests itself as a sustainable and resilient culture.
This shapes our day-to-day activities in being a safe and great place to work whilst taking care of the environment and always striving to provide better solutions to the industry.
Goals
1. Social
We are investing in technology, equipment and systems. However, our people are the priority.
We never compromise health and safety in the workplace. Our effective safety processes are backed up by ongoing training and development, and our careful recruitment process ensures all new employees are quickly up to speed with our attention to detail.
Space always ensures all employees are treated and valued equally, and we actively promote fairness, inclusion and respect. This creates an environment where the open communication of ideas and issues is encouraged. With this approach, we are able to invest in tomorrow's leaders today.

We aim to continually improve the environmental performance of all our activities by proactively developing solutions to minimise environmental impacts during the delivery and life-cycle of contracts.

Carbon footprint tracking
In 2022, Space launched a program to track and analyse our carbon footprint.
Tree planting initiatives
Space recognises the need to protect the natural environment. Keeping our environment clean and unpolluted is a benefit to all.
Scientists have found planting trees to be the most efficient way to tackle the climate crisis; the trees store pollutants such as carbon and release oxygen into the atmosphere. We like to think our carbon footprint is as small as possible. And the carbon which we do emit, we off-set through tree-planting programmes through Oblong Trees, more than covering our carbon footprint. Space is a Carbon Positive Business.

Road to Zero
Space is supportive of the UK government's Road to Zero strategies with the ultimate goal of completely phasing out petrol and diesel sales, and having entirely electric roads by 2040.
As of February 2023, 46% of the Space fleet is composed of electric vehicles and we are aiming to increase this number within the next 24 months.

Sustainable supply chain
Space is now fully enrolled as a partner of the Sustainability Supply Chain School. The Sustainability Supply Chain School is a dedicated construction resource that is currently supported and utilised by more than 160 organisations throughout the UK. These organisations, like Space, are working to improve their sustainability efforts and engage their supply chain.
With our focus on Net Zero, Space aims to improve our reporting capabilities for BREEAM and other sustainable schemes, in addition to expanding skill sets for PQQ and tender requirements. The Sustainability Supply Chain School has been and will continue to be invaluable in our efforts to deliver on all these requirements.
