Our Sustainability Journey — Driven by purpose. Delivered with care.
At Swallow Site Services, sustainability isn’t a department – it’s embedded into everything we do. From our carbon-neutral operations to our zero-to-landfill performance, we take meaningful action that creates long-term value for our clients, communities, and the planet.
Our approach is shaped by four guiding pillars: People, Planet, Partnership, and Prosperity – and aligned with 15 of the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals. We believe that organisations of any size can make a measurable, lasting difference – and that’s exactly what we’re committed to doing.
Low Emission Services
We help clients work toward genuine Net Zero carbon targets – and we lead by example.
Through our carbon-neutral operations, cleaner technologies, and low-emission delivery methods, we’re reducing our environmental impact and improving air quality across all areas of service. It’s about smarter choices at every level — not just offsetting, but transforming how we work.
Creating Social Value Through People, Partnership & Prosperity
Sustainability isn’t just environmental – it’s social.
We actively support local communities, empower people, and create opportunities through responsible procurement and inclusive growth.
Our social value commitments include:
- Prioritising local and SME suppliers
- Providing training and career development
- Supporting disadvantaged individuals into work
- Promoting wellbeing and diversity across our teams
- Embedding social value throughout our supply chain
This people-first approach ensures our impact goes far beyond the built environment – contributing to healthier, fairer communities.
Protecting & Enhancing Biodiversity
Wherever we operate, we take care to protect and enhance the natural environment — from safeguarding green spaces to protecting local wildlife habitats.
Our goal is simple: zero harm to nature, and a legacy of better, healthier ecosystems. That includes managing pollution risk, supporting habitat recovery, and working with clients to improve green infrastructure on site.
Zero Waste to Landfill — and Beyond
We’re proud to already deliver zero waste to landfill – and we’re not stopping there.
Our material strategy prioritises:
- Responsible sourcing
- Efficient use of materials
- Recycling and circular thinking at every stage of service
By moving beyond the traditional ‘take-make-use-dispose’ model, we reduce environmental impact, support the circular economy, and help clients meet their sustainability goals — all without compromising quality or delivery.
The Four Pillars Behind Our Sustainability Strategy
Our strategy is built around four central pillars that guide our decisions and impact:
People – Creating opportunities, supporting wellbeing, and building a workforce that reflects the communities we serve.
Planet – Reducing emissions, protecting biodiversity, and minimising environmental impact through smart, responsible operations.
Partnership – Collaborating with clients, SMEs, and local organisations to embed sustainability and shared value into every relationship.
Prosperity – Supporting sustainable economic growth through ethical business, inclusive employment, and social mobility.
These pillars are aligned with the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development – and serve as our framework for continuous improvement.
