We are delighted to have been nominated for Sustainable Procurement Team of the Year—SME at this year’s National Procurement Awards.

As part of PJ Hegarty’s responsible sourcing of materials workstream, we completed Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) workshops. These workshops, an important part of our sustainability strategy, involved several key sub-contractors and vendors.
With 90% of PJ Hegarty’s carbon footprint attributed to purchased goods and services, the workshop was an important step in our mission to reduce our Scope 3 emissions.
The workshop was insightful, with our sustainability team sharing their ESG learning from the past years. Training and awareness on ESG and the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) were completed. The team also communicated the support PJ Hegarty needs from our supply chain to assist us in achieving our ESG targets over the coming years. Key topics covered were:
• Climate Change: Carbon Footprint and Target Setting
• Products: Sourcing of Materials and EPDs
• Social: Human Rights and Social Responsibility
Our team thoroughly enjoyed supporting the Stepping Stones Forests project to plant 8,000 trees and shrubs in Tymon Park last weekend. The ambitious two-day planting event saw our volunteers work alongside John Kiberd of Stepping Stone Forest, Dodder Action, Cairde Pháirce Thigh Motháin —Friends of Tymon Park, South Dublin County Council and many more to help achieve the mini woodland project’s goal.
Planting trees forms part of our ESG strategy, falls under our Planet pillar, and is linked to UN Sustainable Development Goals 12 Climate Action and 11 Sustainable Cities and Communities. This mini woodland, made up of native species and planted using the Miyawaki method, will significantly improve biodiversity in the area, mitigate climate change, and improve air quality next to the busy M50 motorway.
