Leading infrastructure services company now certified to British Standards Institute PAS 2080:2023

Leading infrastructure services company FM Conway are now British Standards Institute (BSI) certified to PAS 2080:2023, the global standard for the management and reduction of whole-life carbon in infrastructure and the built environment.

PAS 2080 provides the framework for managing whole-life carbon across infrastructure projects through promotion of early collaboration with the whole value chain and embedding low-carbon decision making into every phase of works.

 

The stringent audit process highlighted FM Conway’s self-delivery model as a key contributor to intelligently designing out carbon, as well as their bespoke whole-life carbon assessment and reporting tool which contains more than 15,000 materials and fuels – enabling carbon impact assessments to be provided for all works they deliver.

The certification illustrates the business’ dedication to continual improvement and fostering a culture that promotes and incentivises carbon reduction both across the business and in collaboration with the supply chain.

By achieving PAS 2080 certification as a ‘constructor’, FM Conway solidify their position as an industry leader in sustainability and their commitment to supporting clients in achieving their decarbonization goals.

FM Conway’s sustainability director, Matt Tallon, said: ‘Collaboration and innovation across the infrastructure industry are essential to deliver net zero, and our PAS 2080 certification reflects our commitment to those values. Our clients have ambitious targets, and they need their partners to work with them to lead the change. We’ve long been a pioneer in highways recycling and we’re building on that experience to ensure we combine the right materials, construction methods, and technical expertise to deliver maximum whole-life carbon savings – making these carbon goals a reality.’

Catherine Wilkins, category management group lead at National Highways, added: ‘As one of the UK’s largest buyers of construction materials and services, we have a significant opportunity to catalyse Britain’s construction industry to deliver net zero. We have stipulated that our large and medium suppliers must be certified against PAS 2080 by the end of 2025 and are delighted that FM Conway have already achieved this important milestone.’

Maria Manidaki, technical director of decarbonization at Mott MacDonald, said: ‘As a technical co-author of PAS 2080 and an advisor to the FM Conway team going through the PAS verification process, I am very pleased to see the team’s leadership and drive to improve their own carbon capability by aligning their systems, processes, and skills to the PAS 2080 carbon-management standard. I’m confident that the PAS 2080 verification will be a great platform to focus FM Conway’s efforts to influence their clients and product/material suppliers to develop and implement low-carbon solutions that will benefit the wider infrastructure sector.’
