Plant Group

With increasing scrutiny from clients and the government on the negative effect engines have on the air quality of our towns and cities, and with policy and penalties pushing organisations to address the issues through fleet and plant, the industry needs to look closely at how it operates plant, what it invests in, and how plant is disposed.

As a result of these challenges, Partners are collaborating to identify and provide the supply chain with information and guidance on plant standards and management.

The definition of “plant” for this group is “plant used in the construction and/or maintenance of an asset and consumes some form of power/energy”.

Partners have worked to produce numerous resources to provide landscape and potential solutions for the supply and demand of plant and plant operators, for use by clients, major contractors and the supply chain. These include a minimum standards document that discusses the minimum engine emissions standards we should be adhering to to reduce the worst effects on air quality and the climate – where we can go better and cleaner, we should.

The Group has also developed a Commitment Charter for relevant parties to sign up to to demonstrate their intention to actively work towards cleaner air, for the benefit of our workers and neighbours
