Every day, our teams work behind the scenes to keep the UK's most essential buildings functioning – the hospitals where lives are saved theschoolswherefuturesareshaped,thehomeswherefamiliesthrive andthedefencefacilitiesthatprotectournation.
This work puts us at the heart of what matters most to society and withthatcomesbothprivilegeandprofoundresponsibility.
AtAxisCLC,webelievethatmaintainingcriticalinfrastructureisabout more than technical excellence – its about stewarding the spaces where our communities live, learn, heal, and find safety. This perspectivedrivesourcommitmenttogobeyondsimplyreducingour environmental footprint Instead, we ' re focused on creating lasting positivechangeineverycommunityweserve.
OurResponsibleBusinessJourney
Thisreportoutlineshowweretransformingourapproachacrossthree interconnected pillars: environmental stewardship, social impact, and sustainable governance. Were not just aiming for net zero – we ' re working toward net positive impact, where every project leaves communitiesandenvironmentsbetterthanwefoundthem.
Our partnership approach with clients has evolved to support their own sustainability journeys through innovative energy efficiency solutions and circular economy practices. Weve seen firsthand how thoughtful building maintenance and enhancement can dramatically reduce carbon emissions while creating healthier, more productive spacesforthepeoplewhousethemdaily.
Equally important is our commitment to people – both our own workforce and the communities we serve. We're investing significantly in skills development apprenticeships, and inclusive employment practices that open doors for underrepresented groups. Because sustainablebusinessmeanssustainablecareersandopportunitiesfor all.
AligningwithGlobalGoals
Our strategy directly supports the UN Sustainable Development Goals, particularlythoseaddressingclimateaction,decentwork sustainable communities, and reduced inequalities. Weve identified where our unique position in the property maintenance sector allows us to drive meaningfulprogressonsociety'smostpressingchallenges.
The path ahead requires sustained commitment, innovation, and partnership. Were working closely with clients, suppliers, and community organisations to amplify our collective impact. This collaborative approach isnt just more effective – it's essential for creatingthesystemicchangeourworldneeds.

MetPoliceSupplierEngagementDay
As part of our commitment to strengthening supplier relationships and promoting sustainable practices, Axis hosted a successful Supplier Engagement Day in collaborationwiththeMetropolitanPolice.
Our Sustainability Team presented how we collect supplier emissions data through EmitWise as part of our Scope 3 reduction efforts. The session fostered shared learning on best practices and compliance, enhancing supplier collaboration and reinforcing our shared drive towardNetZero.
We continue to reduce our Scope 1 and 2 emissions by working with Sustainable Energy First, who source 100% renewableenergyforourbuildings.
Through this partnership, we maintain our Green Gas Contract,whichoffsetsourgasusebyinjectinganequal amountofbiomethaneintothegrid.

Tackling indirect Scope 3 emissions is one of the toughest challenges for any business working towards decarbonisation and Net Zero. As these emissions come from sources not under our company control, reduction requires full supply chain cooperation and access to reliabledata,whichcanbehardtoget.
Axis continues to advance its ProcureWise supplier engagement programme, in partnership with EmitWise. ThisprogrammedrivesScope3emissionsreduction.
Phase 2 of the programme has shown strong progress, with a 15.8% increase in suppliers claiming their profiles and a 59.4% rise in those completing the process comparedtoPhase1.
