CKD has been actively reducing our carbon footprint since 2020. This commitment includes emissions produced in our supply chain (we expect all our suppliers to share our commitment) as well as those from our direct operations. Incremental targets have been set to increase the rate of reduction year on year and this will be formally reviewed internally every five years.

Our environmental commitments align with our purpose.

Make better things. Make things better.

We will use the power of creativity to build better futures for our people, planet, clients and communities. We have embedded this purpose and value into our business strategy.

CKD aims to use resources carefully and to reduce waste and recycle as much as possible. All employees are actively encouraged to think carefully about every professional action and its possible outcomes.

We are committed to ensuring that we comply with all relevant environmental legislation and meet all our contractual obligations.

CKD’s Equal Opportunities Policy is applicable to all employees, workers and contractors. We are committed to a policy of equal opportunity and non-discrimination and will not tolerate action or behaviour that is contrary to this policy.

Breaches of our Equal Opportunities Policy by employees will be dealt with through the disciplinary procedure and may be considered to be gross misconduct.  Breaches by workers or contractors may be grounds for CKD to withdraw work or terminate contracts for services or similar.

Policy Statement

At all times, CKD aims to:

• Select, recruit, develop and promote the very best people, basing judgement solely on suitability for the job.
