Responsible business
It's not only what we deliver. It's how we work and what we leave behind.
At Ridge, being responsible means looking after our people, supporting the communities we work in, reducing our impact on the environment and being open about how we run the business. These are the commitments we hold ourselves to.
Look after our people
We’re committed to a safe, fair and inclusive workplace, with real support for wellbeing and the chance for everyone to keep learning and developing. We expect the same respect for others across our supply chain.
Make a difference locally
We want communities to feel the benefit of our presence. That means creating local opportunities, sharing our skills, giving our time and being clear about the social value our work delivers.
Reduce our impact
We measure and report our carbon emissions, set clear reduction targets and track our progress towards Net Zero. Our aim is to use fewer resources, create less waste and consider nature in our decisions, our operations and the advice we give our clients.
Be accountable
We’re clear about who makes decisions and open about how we work. We deal fairly with clients, suppliers and partners, pay suppliers promptly and, when something falls short, we’re honest about it and act.
Our aim isn’t just to comply. It’s to operate responsibly and be able to show it.

People
People do their best work when they feel valued, supported and able to be themselves. We’re committed to creating a safe, inclusive workplace where our people are treated fairly, supported in their wellbeing and given opportunities to learn, develop and build rewarding careers.
Community
Our responsibility doesn’t stop at the projects we deliver. We want our presence to make a positive difference in the communities around us, through the opportunities we create, the skills we share, the time we volunteer and the causes our people support.
Environment
Every building changes the place it sits in, and the natural world around it. We’re reducing our own carbon, using fewer resources and creating less waste, and helping clients make practical, lower-carbon decisions through the work we deliver.
Governance
We’re clear about who makes decisions, take responsibility for them and are open about how we work. We deal fairly with clients, suppliers and partners, and when something falls short, we want people to speak up and know we’ll act.
