Our Vision
Net Zero by 2030
Mission Statement
To actively target engineering and scientific work that is environmentally responsible and to be leading experts in these fields.
The Commitment
We envisage a future shaped by socially and environmentally responsible design, where true long-term costs and benefits are considered across entire project lifecycles.
The Carbon Baseline
To realize our vision of Net Zero by 2030, Jennings O’Donovan has established a rigorous carbon baseline to track activity data against specific emission factors. This data allows us to calculate our total carbon footprint and monitor the effectiveness of our sustainability initiatives in real-time
The Three Pillars of Our Footprint:
Scope 1: Direct Emissions We measure direct greenhouse gas emissions from sources owned or controlled by JOD, such as any site-specific operations or direct fuel consumption.
Scope 2: Energy IndirectThis accounts for emissions from the generation of purchased electricity consumed across our office locations, primarily tracked using a location-based approach to reflect national grid average.Scope 3: Value Chain IndirectWe track significant emissions that occur as a consequence of our professional activities but are not directly owned by us, specifically targeting business travel and employee commuting.
The 2030 Action Plan (Timeline)
Q1 2024: Align with RSK Sustainability Strategy and launch the JOD 2030 Action Plan.
Q2 2024:
Implement quarterly reporting on social and ESG targets via the Thrive and Pulse systems.
Q4 2024: We Complete energy-efficient office lighting upgrades.
Q4 2025:
Upgrade office spaces with solar panels and eco-friendly equipment
Priority Sustainable Development Goals
As part of our commitment to socially and environmentally responsible design, Jennings O’Donovan has mapped its operations against the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We have identified four primary goals where our engineering and scientific expertise can deliver the greatest positive impact for our communities and the planet.
Our Four Key Pillars of Impact:
SDG 6: Clean Water and SanitationEnsuring the availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation through our expert work in the water and wastewater sectors
SDG 7: Affordable and Clean EnergyDriving the transition to reliable, sustainable, and modern energy through our extensive experience in the Renewable Energy Sector.
SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure Building resilient infrastructure and fostering innovation through smarter construction methods and sustainable developments.
SDG 13: Climate Action Taking urgent action to combat climate change by pledging to Net Zero and implementing science-based targets across our entire project lifecycle.
