Our social responsibility
Sustainability is central to the T.A. Knox ethos. We are committed to delivering projects that reflect
both environmental stewardship and social responsibility. Our internal carbon reduction plan,
developed in partnership with Litmus, supports measurable emissions reductions through
structured tracking, reporting, and behavioural change across all operations.
How we are committed
At T.A. Knox, we are committed to maintaining the highest standards across health & safety, environmental management, and quality assurance. Our accreditations reflect our dedication to continuous improvement and our responsibility to clients, communities, and the environment.
Sustainability Management
Integrate sustainable management practices in design, construction, commissioning, and aftercare.
Transport
Encourage responsible travel behaviours, including the use of low-emission vehicles and local sourcing.
Health & Well-being
Incorporate wellness-focused design features that support a safe, comfortable, and healthy environment.
Material Selection
Specify sustainable, responsibly sourced materials and promote the use of low-impact products throughout the fit-out process.
Waste Management
Apply the waste hierarchy across all project phases, prioritising reduction, reuse, and recycling.
Reduce Energy & Water
We will source high efficiency HVAC and lighting systems to reduce energy, and water saving fixtures and systems.

Initiatives already
implemented
Our approach ensures that every construction project is assessed individually, with bespoke strategies tailored to reduce CO2 emissions based on project specific energy use, transport logistics, material selection, and waste output. Energy consumption, transport miles, and waste generation are tracked to inform reduction targets and guide behavioural change on site.
