ESG

Responsibility, scored and reported.

UK tenders score social value and carbon. We treat ESG as a measured deliverable, with net zero, social value and governance commitments a buyer can hold us to.

Why this sits up front

ESG is a scored tender question.

Public-sector and main-contractor tenders now formally score social value and require a Carbon Reduction Plan. For AOG's buyers, ESG is not a brand exercise. It is a scored tender question we answer with evidence.

So we measure it the way we measure compliance: targets, owners and a reporting rhythm.

Social value

Buyer social value model

Commitments written against whichever social value model the authority scores, with KPIs set at contract level rather than group level.

Mapped per tender
Measurement

National TOMs

Outcomes reported through recognised TOMs measures, so an evaluator can total the value rather than read a narrative.

Proxy values, current edition
Environment

Carbon Reduction Plan

A published plan covering emissions scope, methodology and reduction route. It stays the source of truth for formal carbon detail.
