From humble beginnings undertaking small construction and civil engineering projects, we have grown steadily into a multi sector property development and construction business with a project pipeline of several billion pounds right across the UK. We have always remained a family business, and despite our growth, it’s still our people, their families and our communities that lie at the heart of everything we do. As we have grown over the years, we have been able to make an ever greater and more positive impact on people’s lives whether they be our own staff, our customers, occupiers, investors or the communities in which we deliver our projects. In recent years in particular we have been able to direct more structure and resources to our now very active CSR programme. For example, through the Leeds Rhinos Foundation and our charity partnerships we’ve done some amazing work and provided significant much needed financial support to a number of our partner charities. However, we’ve now achieved a scale which requires us to take a more strategic approach and this ESG report creates a strong platform on which to build and expand our strategies. We were presented with some truly unprecedented challenges during 2020, however our staff have responded magnificently and with great resilience to keep our business moving, construction sites open and projects on programme. I am very proud of what we’ve been able to achieve in spite of very difficult circumstances and this report is testament to that. In this first ESG report we also look at the year ahead - and beyond - as we set out our aspirations to cement our position as one of the UK’s leading property and construction businesses. Welcome to Caddick Group’s inaugural annual ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) report. In this report we will take you through our journey on environmental, social and governance performance. We will outline our standards and views on each of these business pillars, give examples of how we are taking action, and set out our vision for the coming year in 2021.
