Respect for the environment, workforce and customers secures CPS Bronze at the 2020 Considerate Constructors Scheme’s National Site Awards

The Considerate Constructors Scheme has awarded Connect Plus Services’ Leatherhead depot a Bronze award at the 2020 National Site Awards. The award follows a performance assessment against the Scheme’s Code of Considerate Practice, which demonstrated an excellent consideration towards the public, its workforce and the environment.

The assessment follows a number of criteria and observes the site based on the following categories: Care about Appearance, Respect for the Community, Protecting the Environment, Securing everyone’s Safety and Value the Workforce.

The Leatherhead depot scored an impressive 44 (of 50), which sees it retain its Performance Beyond Compliance rating for the third consecutive year, in addition to the Bronze award.

The monitor noted that “Respect for the community continues to be excellent, with a robust systematic approach being taken in considering and communicating with all stakeholders.

“Protection for the environment remains exceptional, with a robust systematic approach being taken to the measurement and continual improvement of a broad range of environmental aspects and impacts.

“The workforce is valued and the standard of care is exceptional, with a continuing open and positive culture supported by a comprehensive array of well maintained facilities.”

This achievement demonstrates Connect Plus Services’ dedication, effort and commitment to raising standards of considerate construction.
