PAS 2080 – BSI certification

  • By Marlborough Highways

Marlborough Highways is delighted to announce that it has formally achieved PAS 2080 certification from the British Standards Institution (BSI). The award for ‘Carbon Management in Infrastructure’ follows an extensive auditing process, in which Marlborough’s people needed to demonstrate compliance across a broad range of environmental and sustainability practices.

PAS 2080 is a nationally recognised standard, which demonstrates a commitment to reducing emissions throughout the entire lifecycle of infrastructure projects. In Marlborough’s case, this includes everything from the initial design and construction of highways and public realm schemes, through to the maintenance and updating of roads, footways, and green spaces. By following the PAS 2080 framework, the company can better achieve its sustainability goals and reduce its carbon footprint.

Marlborough’s Head of Performance, Sustainability & Social Value, Nick Reading, and the company’s Environment and Sustainability Officer, Fiona Cummings, led the PAS 2080 two-phased audit. Members of the organisation’s Operations, Procurement, Bids and Sustainability teams assisted the process, providing supporting evidence and taking part in in-depth interviews about the roles they play in carbon management strategy.

As the industry benchmark for quality, the BSI auditor confirmed that Marlborough has no non-conformances, while identifying several areas of excellence. In particular, the company was praised for its supply chain processes, environmental tender responses, and for the way in which it is delivering ever more sustainable schemes on the ground.

Matthew Revell, Managing Director, Marlborough Highways, said, “We are incredibly proud to have achieved the BSI PAS 2080 certification, with this significant milestone underscoring our commitment to the environment. The accreditation is a testament to the hard work of not just our Sustainability team, but all those colleagues who are helping Marlborough to work in a greener, cleaner and more innovative way. By adhering to the PAS 2080 framework, we can better deliver for the communities we serve, and create positive and lasting change”.

“One of the things I value most is their very collaborative and transparent team culture. It makes a big difference to have a contractor that wants to work closely with us and is supportive and responsive. With Marlborough, I get a team who are attentive, work collaboratively and honestly with me and don’t lose focus on delivering first class communications and compliance.”
Carly Norris, Project Manager Operations, Hackney Council
“From the design stage, Marlborough has been fundamental in delivering the Broad Lane Square improvements scheme. During the works, not only did the team manage to keep to the programme, but they went the extra mile to ensure attention to detail and came up with innovative solutions to address issues encountered on site. My thanks on behalf of Haringey goes out to Marlborough for their dedication to deliver.”
Dana Rasheed, Project Manager, Haringey Council
“Working alongside our Term Service Contractor Marlborough Highways, we successfully completed renovations to the Crowstone Footbridge. The designs were provided by Marlborough, and the work was unique. The scheme was completed to budget and ahead of its programme duration.”
Neil Handley, Senior Engineer, Southend-on-Sea City Council
“I would like to thank you and your team for your efforts, the Marlborough crews were professional, courteous, and hard working all day and ensured the event went without a hitch. You and the team were a credit to the company, demonstrating commitment and support to the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham.”
Nick Davies, Specialist Services Manager, Barking and Dagenham Council
“I just wanted to say what a pleasure it has been to work with Marlborough Highways over the last six months. The quality of work is superb, and there has been some excellent collaboration between Milestone and Marlborough to complete, what at times, has been quite a challenging scheme. I hope to work with Marlborough on another project in the near future.”
Colin Hill, Schemes Manager, Milestone Infrastructure
“Marlborough worked with us in constructing a 1.3km cycle track. There were a number of technical difficulties to overcome, and their gifted foreman worked to propose some innovative solutions to the challenges we faced. The result is a facility that the locals are proud of, providing walkers and cyclists with alternative access to the hospital and nearby school. The scheme was a lot of hard work, but well worth it.”
Rob Venables, NEC Project Manager, Essex County Council
“Marlborough attracts people who take care and have pride in their work. Several gangs of Operatives worked tirelessly for six months to reconstruct drainage networks, lay more than 3km of high quality bespoke granite kerbs and granite channels blocks to ensure positive drainage. The technical compliance, attention to detail and level of quality finish along the entire carriageway was exceptional”.
Mark Chiverrell, Technical Director, Project Centre
“We saw huge benefits in appointing Marlborough as our full service contractor and we’re impressed – they’ve delivered consistent high quality service and superior quality control across every project. Marlborough, provide us with a ‘one-stop’ shop solution – we get the same quality of service and better control across all aspects of the project.”
Darren Bryant, Principal Engineer, Enfield Council
