Connect It Utility Services has officially kicked off its journey to net zero emissions, partnering with carbon specialists Auditel to guide the way toward a more sustainable future.
Established is 2001, Connect It Utility Services (CIUS) specialise in providing comprehensive multi-utility solutions designed for all aspects of infrastructure network developments. With over 24 years of industry experience, they have established themselves as a trusted partner to many of the UK’s leading housing developers and distribution networks.
Connect It Utility Services are committed to becoming a truly sustainable business, and embedding environmental responsibility into every decision and driving positive change across their supply chain and industry.
While a specific net zero target date hasn’t been set, Connect It Utility Services recognises that this early commitment is a vital step. By aligning their growth with the planet’s long-term health, they’re laying the foundation for meaningful, lasting impact.
CIUS have partnered with Andy Buxton, Carbon Specialist at Auditel, to provide expert guidance and a clear, structured roadmap on their journey to net zero.
Laban Giles, Managing Director, comments, “Their proven methodologies and independent verification will ensure our efforts are accurate, credible, and in line with best practice. This partnership provides the confidence and clarity we need to make meaningful progress towards our net zero vision.”
For CIUS, sustainability is both a responsibility and a strategic opportunity. Their people want to work for a company with purpose, their customers increasingly value sustainable practices, and their suppliers seek partners aligned with their ESG goals. By actively measuring and reducing their carbon footprint, CIUS strengthens its brand, attracts top talent, and builds lasting trust with all stakeholders.
Connect It Utility Services recognises that while some in the sector have begun their net zero journey, many have yet to take meaningful steps. CIUS are determined to lead by example, using early adoption as both a catalyst for change and a competitive edge.
As CIUS continues to grow, they’re increasingly aware of evolving legislation, industry standards, and rising market expectations around sustainability. With growing scrutiny from customers and investors, they recognise the urgency to act now on climate impact.
CIUS have already taken meaningful steps to reduce emissions:
- Fleet telematics to cut vehicle emissions
- Motion-sensitive lighting in facilities
- ISO 14001 certified
- EcoVadis subscription for sustainability benchmarking
These projects have given CIUS valuable experience and demonstrated both the environmental and financial benefits of decarbonisation.
Connect It Utility Services acknowledges they are at the start of their net zero journey, but with a clear goal and roadmap in place, they’re committed to achieving it.
Laban Giles continues, “We are at the early stages of our net zero journey and reaching carbon Neutrality and have yet to set a definitive target date, but our commitment reflects a clear intention: to ensure our growth is in harmony with the planet’s long-term wellbeing.”
“Our vision is to operate as a truly sustainable business, embedding environmental responsibility into every decision we make. We aim not only to reduce our own carbon emissions but to influence positive change throughout our supply chain and industry.”
