Delivering Value for our Communities
Cormac is a leading UK civil engineering contractor, trusted by public bodies and private clients both in Cornwall and, increasingly, beyond our home turf. We deliver the Cornwall Council Term Service Contract, together with providing an exceptionally wide range of specialist highways and environment services, surfacing, consultancy and design.
Cormac is committed to an ambitious programme of growth. In Cornwall that means constantly innovating and improving the civil engineering, surfacing and environmental services we provide and strengthening our connections with the institutions and community groups we serve.
But growth means stepping up our activity beyond Cornwall too, building on our proven track record in collaboration and our unique community-facing approach. We welcome the opportunity for new partnerships with public bodies, councils, community groups and consulting civil engineers across the South West.
Sustainability
Environmental, social and economic issues are deeply embedded in Cormac’s business focus. These three pillars form part of our Group-wide sustainability strategy, and help us drive towards a fairer, net-zero, future not just for our employees, but for the communities in which we work and live, and for the planet as a whole.
From our award-winning ‘Making Space for Nature’ projects to our Pledge 4 Nature with Cornwall’s Local Nature Partnership, Cormac is dedicated to exploring new ways to improve biodiversity and preserve the natural environment.
Cormac supports a regional ‘circular economy’ for secondary materials, reducing the adverse impacts associated with extraction of raw primary resources. We now have five Environment Agency permitted sites, where waste from highway construction and maintenance activities is processed into quality, affordable and sustainable secondary aggregate products.
We are dedicated to reducing carbon emissions. Cormac has switched to a green energy provider, partnered on a £1.6m pilot project to extract biomethane fuel from dairy farm slurry and has invested in a 425MWh solar farm at our quarry. We now produce low carbon asphalt at two sites in Cornwall, and we’re aiming to have a 100% ULEV (Ultra Low Emission Vehicle) fleet of vehicles by 2030, while shifting to alternative-energy powered machinery, mobile traffic lights and floodlights.
Providing employment, career development and apprenticeships opportunities are core to Cormac’s environmental strategy. As a large business, Cormac can use its influence to educate and encourage positive change, regularly sharing information and arranging supply chain engagement events.
We work with local small and medium-sized enterprises, supporting them to meet our supply chain selection criteria. As a Living Wage Foundation Employer, we implement a job evaluation scheme across all our roles to ensure fairness and consistency – and we influence our business partners to join.
Cormac continues to deliver award-winning green infrastructure projects, whilst upskilling our employees and creating new ‘green’ employment and business opportunities. We are currently working with over one hundred community groups on a wide variety of projects - providing equipment, offering advice and giving talks at schools.
Social Value
Cormac was born as a company dedicated to serving local people
So we make it our business to prioritise initiatives which help promote a vibrant local economy, support cohesive communities and create a sustainable environmental legacy.
Our approach involves playing an active role in understanding local needs and co-designing programmes of support which have a lasting impact. We build local entrepreneurs into project supply chains, for example, and create employment and reskilling opportunities for disadvantaged groups such as unemployed young people and veterans. Meanwhile Cormac’s Staff Volunteering Policy empowers every member of our own team to give at least one day’s annual leave to volunteer locally. The scheme unlocks many thousands of hours of voluntary support for the benefit of the great community groups, charities and social enterprises which help local people and economies thrive.
Wherever we operate, we stand side by side with our Community Delivery Partners in focusing on the climate emergency. It’s our ambition to work together with the communities we serve to achieve a NetZero carbon footprint.
