ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE PRINCIPLES
Walls has developed an environmental, social and governance (ESG) strategy plan up to 2025, which has eight specific goals for sustainability (based on the 17 UN SDGs). These documents are built on much of the work already done through its years of successful certification to standards ISO 14001 and 45001. It will also build on its stated commitment to work sustainably and conscientiously per its clients’ requirements and in association with initiatives such as the Considerate Constructors Scheme, in which all its projects partake.
Its ESG policies are designed to ensure that sustainability and people are at the forefront of its business, and they are reviewed, updated, and communicated to employees, supply chain partners, design teams and clients.
Its focus is on a range of measures, including sustainability and biodiversity enhancement, water protection and conservation, waste and carbon management, and social and governance objectives.
Futureproofing
It has never been so vital to embrace the rapidly evolving technological advantages associated with modern methods of construction, and Walls considers these essential for enhancing not just efficiency and productivity but also sustainability and all-round quality. The Journey to Our Digital Transformation is a document developed to review how the company has progressed with these technologies, particularly regarding BIM programmes, and what future opportunities are available. Not only do these programmes aid in project logistics, but they can also reduce health & safety risks, improve overall quality, and improve delivery timelines. Walls can now quickly and easily gather data on a project in a way that would simply not have been possible previously, resulting in real-time performance feedback.

Clancy Construction’s origins date back to 1947. Today, the contractor plays a pivotal role in the development of Irish construction. Its personnel are recognised leaders in the Irish construction sector, helping drive change, innovation and greater efficiency.
Innovation At Clancy Construction
In recent years, Clancy invested in the necessary technology to integrate building information modelling (BIM) into its operations and enable its teams to work remotely, facilitating the switching of its project management teams to the virtual environment at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Clancy Construction Projects
At the beginning of Covid-19, Clancy negotiated and delivered two of the quickest, fast-track construction projects ever to be completed in Ireland for HSE Estates. The two 24-bed isolation wards at University Hospital Limerick and Croom Hospital were built in 14 and 17 weeks, respectively. It has since taken on and completed a number of fast-track healthcare projects. Recently, it completed work on an ICU for Tallaght Hospital and Bone Marrow Unit at St James Hospital, Dublin.
It completed work on Trinity College’s Rubrics Building and Chief Steward’s House.
In 2022, Clancy completed work on Bandon Road Student Accommodation in Cork. The use of off-site construction reduced the overall personnel required on the site of the 554-bed light-gauge steel frame with bathroom pods development. An individual apartment block of six storeys in height was constructed and weatherproof in an 18week period, with the internal finishing cycle taking just 16 weeks. Its current projects include Fox Meadows residential development in Kilkenny for its sister company Clancy Homes.
Clancy Outlook
Clancy Construction approaches 2024 in a strong position, with a strong order book for the remainder of 2023 and filling up steadily for 2024.

The company was a recent winner at the Irish Construction Excellence Awards 2023 for ‘Project of the Year’ for the iconic LEED Gold ‘Central Plaza’ project on Dame St, Dublin. The project is one of the largest redevelopment projects Dublin city centre has seen, and the reimagining of the city centre property to a new space is in line with Project Ireland 2040. The success of the project has been all about applying new thinking and modern design and construction to redefine and sustain this building to ensure it remains both relevant and valued well into the future.

To support its ‘Carbon Roadmap to 2030’, Stewart Construction continues to embrace sustainable construction supported by automated technologies and an increased focus on modern methods of construction.
