Harworth Group is positioning sustainability as a core operational function rather than a standalone commitment, reinforcing its role as a major landowner and developer across the industrial, logistics, and residential markets. The company manages large-scale regeneration schemes in the North and the Midlands and oversees the full development cycle. This structure gives the business direct control over how environmental objectives are embedded from planning to occupation.
The group has been working to decarbonise long-term projects while maintaining commercial performance. Its recent programmes include habitat creation, rooftop solar deployment across new commercial buildings, and extensive material reuse on former industrial sites. Harworth has also delivered site-wide energy strategies and supported occupiers in reducing energy consumption.
A key focus has been the rollout of emissions monitoring across more than fifty construction contracts. The data is being used to shape future building design, assess embodied carbon, and inform supply-chain practices. All commercial properties completed since 2022 meet defined embodied-carbon thresholds and operational-energy targets, with integrated solar specified as standard.
Harworth’s sustainability framework guides decision-making across the business and supports alignment with emerging industry standards. The company is preparing for closer links between development-level reporting requirements and corporate disclosures as regulators move toward clearer definitions for net-zero carbon delivery.
