Environmental and Sustainability  

As a leading earthworks and heavy haulage contractor, the Les Searle Group is committed to reducing the environmental impact of its operations and supporting the communities in which we work.

We actively monitor and manage our sustainability performance through our membership with EcoVadis, where we currently hold a Silver rating. We are dedicated to maintaining this standard and progressing towards a Gold rating within the next five years.

Through our robust Environmental Management System and established procedures, we work to minimise the use of natural resources and reduce our environmental footprint. Continuous improvement is at the heart of our approach, supported by strong engagement with our employees, clients, and stakeholders. We are proud of our excellent safety record and remain committed to maintaining and enhancing these high standards.

We invest in modern, efficient equipment incorporating the latest technology, enabling us to exceed legislative requirements and implement effective emissions reduction measures. Our carbon emissions are monitored and recorded, and we continue to pursue further reductions year-on-year.

All of our machinery is HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) ready, and we offer clients the option to use HVO fuel at the tender stage, supporting lower-carbon project delivery.

In addition, our welfare units and refuelling systems are designed with environmental sustainability in mind, further reducing our operational impact.

Health & Safety

At The Les Searle Group, health and safety is at the heart of everything we do. As our business continues to grow, we remain fully committed to investing in our people, training, and equipment to maintain our excellent safety record.

We promote a strong, positive safety culture across all areas of the business, with a clear goal of achieving zero incidents. The health, safety, and wellbeing of our employees, contractors, visitors, and the wider public are our highest priorities, embedded in every aspect of our operations.

Our Directors lead from the front, actively championing a Safety First approach and ensuring that high standards are consistently maintained. We regularly review and update our policies and procedures to drive continuous improvement, while encouraging workforce engagement and feedback at all levels.

The Group operates a fully accredited Health and Safety Management System, supported by a skilled and well-trained workforce. This is reinforced by the expertise of an independent Health, Safety, Quality and Environmental Manager, ensuring compliance, accountability, and best practice across all our activities.
