Social and environmental responsibility
The B-Corp certification is awarded to companies that meet high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability. It guarantees our commitment to making a positive impact on our industry by reducing our environmental footprint, promoting more responsible business practices and getting involved in our communities.
Although the process was launched in 2020, Construction Longer obtained its certification in 2023.
Since its beginnings, Construction Longer has always been there for its community. We attach great importance to the health and well-being of everyone. We also place great emphasis on supporting education, which is reflected in the many internships we offer in order to give everyone an equal chance of success. Our involvement, whether financial, human or material, is focused on projects related to these causes.
Sustainable development is at the heart of our priorities and guides our actions every day. As a certified B-Corp company, we are committed to reducing our environmental footprint while having a positive impact on our communities. Our initiatives cover both our sites and offices: we promote responsible purchasing, for example by offering certified organic and fair trade coffee; we reduce the amount of waste sent to landfill by sorting our waste at source directly on site; we prioritise the use of electric cars for our worksite visits to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions. We also adopt innovative practices such as Lean construction, circular economy and reuse of materials. Every action we take is aimed at improving our practices and actively contributing to a sustainable future.
Health and security at work
We ensure that the workplace, the organization of work and the methods used are safe. In addition, we provide safe equipment, ensure that it is maintained in good condition, inform workers of good practices, provide training on work-related risks and the necessary supervision, etc. Health and safety training is important because it has the ability to unite members of the same team in the pursuit of a common goal: to create a safe and secure workplace that ensures the safety and success of all the people involved.
Construction Longer has made safety an integral part of its values. When they are hired, all our construction workers receive a safety bag. This bag contains a helmet of their choice from among three models, a safety vest, safety glasses, hearing protection, a positioning lanyard, a slider and a safety harness. We also offer the option of an exoskeleton harness, which distributes loads evenly along the spine, reducing muscle fatigue and increasing comfort. Our employees’ well-being is very important to us, which is why we provide them with as much equipment as possible to ensure their physical safety.
