Why Portakabin?
Portakabin is at the heart of our communities providing space for schools, hospitals and businesses.
Our Responsible Business approach is about growing Portakabin as a company and in a way that is beneficial for society. The focus for our activity is to create a positive social impact and go beyond the expected to benefit our customers, our people and the environment. Our approach has three key themes:
Delivering an excellent customer experience through partners
We want to deliver an excellent customer experience whether that's with permanent or temporary buildings. In order to achieve this, we will work with integrity and in partnership with our supply chain. We also aim to set high standards for those who work with us and keep engaging with our stakeholders.
A positive impact on people and communities
Creating a positive social impact is central to our operations. For our employees, that’s about ensuring this is a great place to work and for the wider community it’s our commitment to providing jobs, interacting with schools, supporting local wellbeing and contributing to charities and voluntary organisations.
Protecting our planet, our commitment to achieve Net Zero before 2040
We want to grow the business in a sustainable way that is not harmful to the environment. It’s important to us to reduce waste output and resource usage, increasing the use of renewable energy, and ensure intelligent, sustainable building design.
As the world faces enormous climate challenges, we are ready to play our part in producing the sustainable circular economy that the planet needs. We will do this with integrity by making all possible reductions to our emissions across scope 1, 2 and 3. Our ambitious targets are science based, aligned with the Science Based Target Initiative (SBTi) and with the goals of the Paris Agreement.
