Taylor Wimpey España certificate for environmental responsibility
Taylor Wimpey España awarded double U certificate for environmental responsibility
Leading Spanish home builder Taylor Wimpey España has been awarded the coveted Double U Certificate in recognition of its commitment to sustainable and environmentally responsible practices. In addition to recognising the firm’s sustainability efforts, the certification emphasises Taylor Wimpey España’s depth of commitment to the environment, its customers and its business partners.
The Double U Certificate was formally presented to Taylor Wimpey España’s Production Director, Juan Antonio Hurtado, on 21st October 2024.
He said, “We are deeply grateful for this recognition of our longstanding environmental strategy. For years, we have prioritised sustainability as a core value, focusing on resource optimisation, environmental protection, and active efforts to address climate change. This certification reaffirms our commitment, and we remain dedicated to continuously improving in these areas to make a lasting positive impact on our planet.”
The certification process involved assessments of multiple areas of Taylor Wimpey España’s business against strict sustainability criteria set by the Double U Certificate Assessment Board. This resulted in the firm being awarded the Double U Management Systems Stamp for its commitment to process optimisation for continuous improvement in customer satisfaction, reduction of environmental impacts, staff health and safety protection, and energy efficiency, among others.
Taylor Wimpey España was also awarded the Double U CO2 Footprint Stamp in recognition of its commitment to achieving carbon neutrality. The award recognises businesses that calculate, reduce and/or offset their carbon footprint. Taylor Wimpey España additionally gained the Double U GreenWeb Stamp as a result of the reduction of its digital carbon footprint by creating and hosting websites with a low environmental impact.
“Our commitment to sustainability and environmental care is embedded in every stage of our construction process”, continues Hurtado. “Receiving this certification reflects our dedication to optimising resources and minimising environmental impact, while continuously striving to combat climate change. It is our responsibility to build not only for today but also for a greener, healthier tomorrow, ensuring that our practices contribute positively to the environment and the communities we serve.”
The Double U Certificate is endorsed by Podarcis Group, a specialist environmental, quality and business safety business, which last year received the CAEB 2023 Environmental Sustainability Award.
