Setting out our ESG strategy and reporting progress against agreed objectives.
Embedding a culture of sustainability across our business operations and supply chains and select strategic partnerships that support the same zero carbon objectives.
Supporting our people with activities to benefit the local community and environment.
Continuing to invest in innovation that reduces our environmental impact such as TREVOR, drying equipment management, energy efficiency.
Supporting our clients in achieving their ESG objectives.

The MA Group ESG report for 2025 outlines our performance, initiatives and future goals :

MA Group 2025 ESG Report

We are aiming for:

10% reduction in Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions from the 2023 position by 2025

60% reduction in Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions from the 2023 position by 2035

90% reduction in Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions from the 2023 position by 2045, and carbon neutrality by 2050

This environmental policy applies to all our operations including management, office services, field-based operations and procurement. All employees have a responsibility to ensure that the aims and objectives of the policy are met. ESG is at the very heart of our operation and forms a standardised agenda item at our executive meetings, to ensure business decisions are taken with consideration for their environmental impact.

One World Certification badge

Our One World accreditation for our supply chains embodies our commitment to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles. This initiative aligns seamlessly with MA Group’s dedication to sustainable practices and empowers our supply chain partners to demonstrate their own commitments to this vision.

By implementing the One World Certification scheme, MA Group and its suppliers are collectively demonstrating a commitment to responsible business practices, enhanced transparency, and a sustainable future for all. Together, we are fulfilling our ESG objectives set out in MA Group’s ESG report; we are leading the way towards a more ethical and environmentally conscious industry.

The badge can be displayed on supplier’s websites and other materials to demonstrate their commitment to ESG.

We have a standard set of criteria for all suppliers, which we ask them to adopt. For suppliers who do not currently meet these standards, MA Group provides support to help them comply. Suppliers who meet the criteria earn the “MAG – One World Certified” badge:

Other initiatives that we are currently working on include:

Developing a carbon cost calculator for claims to give our clients insight into the emissions generated by the work we undertake, and to help identify lower carbon cost options.
Establishing an ESG working group with executive team representation and appointed an Equality and Inclusion Champion to support and advise the executive team.
Setting a new minimum energy efficiency standard for drying equipment to be adopted across our Revival network and wider supply chains, to deliver energy cost and CO2 savings to clients.
Continued investment in TREVOR has seen our UK average drying times reduced to 15 days and 1,732 tonnes of C02 saved in 2025.
