BriggsAmasco’s Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) development has been recognised at this year’s Construction News (CN) Awards.

The roofing and waterproofing specialist is among short-listed finalists in the awards’ ‘Specialist Contractor of the Year’ category. The nomination is in recognition of the company’s transformative ESG programme, which includes promoting carbon literacy, behavioural safety, colleague competency, and transitioning its plant and machinery to an all-electric fleet.

Tony Lawther, BriggsAmasco Managing Director, said: “The CN Awards are a highly acclaimed industry event. To earn a shortlisting in a highly competitive category is a significant achievement. Improving sustainability across our business and operations has been crucial to our culture, and is essential to our net-zero target.”

The CN Awards recognise the projects, innovations, and people who ‘set the benchmark ‘for building success. BriggsAmasco’s award entry promotes the company’s landmark ESG achievements in 2025. These include:

  • Becoming the first UK roofing/waterproofing contractor designated a Carbon Literate Organisation (CLO)
  • Developing a group-wide net-zero strategy
  • Becoming the first UK roofing/waterproofing contractor to sign-up to the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi)
  • The publication of its first Social Value Impact Report

In a major boost to its ESG progression, BriggsAmasco has also implemented a  groundbreaking CORE4 Standards and Behavioural Study programme. The training and education initiative benchmarks working standards required of clients. Its aim is to establish safety, quality, sustainability and efficiency as everyday beaviours within workplace culture.

The CORE4 programme has not only significantly increased customer satisfaction, the programme’s sustainability aspect led to a 17% decrease in BriggsAmasco’s LPG consumption in 2025. It followed the company’s £1million electrification investment. BriggsAmasco now possesses the largest inventory of electric hot-melt machines and Etorches in the UK.

Tony Lawther continued: “Our focus on improving our ESG outcomes, whilst continuing to deliver for clients, has been extremely well received by stakeholders. They appreciate our commitment to improving standards that support a safer, more efficient and sustainable construction industry.”

CN Award winners will be announced at a presentation evening held on July 9th at JW Marriott Grosvenor House, London.
