Environmental · Social · Governance
We build for the long term.
In every sense.
Our Position
Honest about where we are.
Clear about where we're going.
Our ESG position is built on actions, not announcements. As established general contractors and construction managers, we have built ESG into our operating model from the ground up — not retrofitted it later. That means being direct about what is in place today, what we are working towards, and what we have not yet formalised.
Environmental management is embedded in how we deliver
An ISO 14001-aligned Environmental Management System is operational on every project. Sustainability certification frameworks — including BREEAM, LEED, and NZEB — are integrated from RIAI/RIBA Stage 2 as a pre-construction discipline. All project and site management staff hold Carbon Literacy certification.
Social responsibility begins with the communities we build in
Local supply chain engagement is prioritised on every project. Structured welfare provision and mental health support are operational standards across all sites. An early careers pathway — covering apprenticeships, graduate placements, and structured mentoring — is in active development.
Governance standards are operational from day one
Health and safety, quality, environmental, sustainable procurement, CSR, anti-bribery, and modern slavery policies were written, reviewed, and signed before we tendered our first project. They apply equally to our team and our supply chain, and are subject to annual review.
01 — Environment
Reduce. Track.
Improve. Repeat.
We do not have a published net zero target date. What we have is a functioning environmental management system, a carbon literate team, and a commitment to measuring and reducing our impact project by project. The target will follow the work.

LiveBREEAM, LEED, and NZEB assessment criteria integrated into the design and build process from RIAI/RIBA Stage 2 as a pre-construction discipline, ensuring certification targets are achievable within the project programme and budget.
LiveAll site and project management personnel hold Carbon Literacy certification. Understanding embodied carbon, operational carbon, and supply chain emissions is a baseline competency.
LiveWhole-life embodied carbon assessments from Stage 2 on D&B projects. Structural and envelope specifications evaluated for carbon impact alongside cost and programme.
In developmentTransitioning site welfare and non-plant equipment to low-emission alternatives. Hybrid and electric plant specified where availability allows, with preference written into procurement.
In progressEstablishing baseline carbon position — Scope 1, 2, and relevant Scope 3 — before setting a credible target date. We will publish when the data supports it, not before.

The right way to do business.
From day one.
Every policy below was written, reviewed, and signed before we tendered our first project. They apply to our team and our supply chain equally, and are reviewed annually as part of our management systems audit cycle.

Planned — Year OneOur Commitment
Building well
means building responsibly.
Conroy's ESG position will evolve as the business grows. What will not change is the principle behind it — that the way a project is built matters as much as what is built. We will measure our performance honestly, publish it transparently, and hold ourselves to the same standards we apply to our supply chain.
Live environmental management system — operational on every project from mobilisation.
All project and site management staff hold Carbon Literacy certification as a baseline requirement.
Safety, quality, environmental, anti-bribery, modern slavery, and supply chain conduct — all operational from inception.
Annual ESG reporting against measurable commitments, published at the end of Conroy's first full year of operation.
02 — Social
Good for the project.
Good for the community.
The sectors Conroy operates in — industrial, pharmaceutical, data — are significant employers in the communities they sit within. The construction of those facilities should be too. We take local supply chain engagement, site worker wellbeing, and early careers development seriously as operational commitments, not CSR addons.
Procurement begins with Irish subcontractors and suppliers on every project — building sustainable local employment and reducing transport-related emissions.
Operational policyStructured welfare facilities, mental health awareness resources, and confidential reporting on every site. Site leadership accountable for wellbeing alongside safety performance.
Operational standardStructured pathway covering apprenticeships, graduate placements, and mentoring for emerging construction professionals across our target sectors.
In developmentProactive neighbour notification, responsive complaint handling, and direct community benefit commitments integrated into the project programme on live sites.
Operational standardHiring process structured to remove bias. Active recruitment from underrepresented groups. Inclusion embedded as a management responsibility at every level.
Framework in developmentFormal measurement and reporting of social value — local employment, supply chain spend, skills development, and community benefit. Baseline reporting from year one.
