PREMIER MODULAR IS AWARDED EUROPE’S FIRST ESG CERTIFICATION


P


remier Modular, one of the UK’s leading offsite


construction specialists, has been awarded Europe’s first ESG certification. Following a rigorous


independent audit conducted by global testing, inspection and certification specialists SGS, Premier has been assessed and certified for its management and performance in Environmental, Social and Governance. According to David Harris, Managing Director of Premier Modular, “Our


aim is to radically improve the sustainability of the built environment with our approach to construction, and to generate social value across all our building projects and operations. We are therefore delighted to be the very first company in Europe to receive the new certification developed by SGS. This is the next step in our ESG journey, and it demonstrates our serious commitment to corporate social responsibility and sustainability.” “This independent endorsement gives all our stakeholders – staff,


customers, supply chain, and investors – complete assurance that we are evaluating our ESG performance in line with the latest best practice, and that our ESG data and analysis are both accurate and transparent.” “This has been an important initiative in helping us to advance our


commitment to reducing carbon emissions within Premier and in the long- term operation of our modular buildings for both rental and permanent space. And by prioritising social value in everything we do, we have the potential to unlock a range of social, economic, and environmental benefits for the communities we work in.”

A&S Landscape Launch £15,000 Canopy Competition


A


&S Landscape has recently launched a


new competition which will see one school win a canopy worth £15,000. After running a successful contest in 2021 which saw over 100 schools enter, the canopy company is this time offering a fully-installed fabric roof product. The competition is


open to all schools in England and Wales. To enter schools need to fill in a simple entry form on the A&S Landscape website. Schools will then need to collect votes, with the school with the highest number of votes winning the competition. The decision to relaunch the competition was a no-brainer for the team at


A&S Landscape after the unprecedented interest in the previous contest, which saw a total of 48,000 votes cast. Competition Coordinator at A&S Landscape, Lucy Grime, shared why the decision was made to give away another canopy: “After the hardships and challenges faced by many schools throughout


the Covid-19 pandemic, we were all too aware that many were struggling to make improvements to their facilities due to a lack of budget and manpower. We knew that giving away a canopy would to help spread some positivity and make a difference to the winning school.” Schools have until the 15th July 2022 to enter the competition, with the


winner being announced shortly after. uhttps://www.aandslandscape.co.uk/


QUESTION...Why should you improve the indoor air


quality in your school? With around 9 million children and young adults in schools and educational facilities in the UK, spending approximately a third of their lives at school, 70% of which is spent indoors, we ask...


How could you NOT try to improve the air quality in your school?


The effects of poor indoor air quality can have serious short and long-term effects on both students and staff; ranging from asthma and other respiratory infections and diseases, allergies, eye and skin irritations, through to coughing, sneezing, fatigue, headaches and nausea. These health issues can, therefore, affect not only a child's ability to learn, but also a teachers ability to teach.


T


With the number of children looking for places at schools in the UK increasing every year, this will undoubtedly mean an increased likelihood of densely populated classrooms, leading to elevated CO2 levels. These elevated CO2 levels are one of the major pollutants that drives poor air quality in schools.
