<\/figure>\n\n\n\nBehind the structure sits a group focused on making sustainability both credible and actionable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Josh Stodel<\/a>, Sustainability Manager, Morson Group
<\/strong>Josh is leading carbon reporting, reduction initiatives and science-based targets. He also manages external platforms like EcoVadis, CDP and JOSCAR, and oversees environmental programmes that benefit communities. A registered Environmentalist, he\u2019s also a Practitioner Member of ISEP.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBecky Burgess<\/a>, Social Value Manager, Morson Group<\/strong>
Becky is leading the social value strategy and embedding it into day-to-day operations to deliver measurable impact for people, communities and clients. She also supports winning and retaining work by ensuring social value commitments strengthen reputation and reflect the good already happening across the business.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAmy Louise Smith<\/a>, Social Value Manager at Morson Vital<\/a>
<\/strong>Alongside them, Amy is focused on embedding social value into everyday operations and turning intent into measurable impact for people, communities and clients. She also highlights the positive work already happening, ensuring it supports both reputation and business goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDifferent roles, shared direction. Making sustainability something that operates across the business, not alongside it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Environmental highlights and milestones<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Sustainability at Morson is not limited to carbon metrics. It extends into social value, access and opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Over the past year, that has taken many forms. Teams giving their time to support career events<\/a>, for d\u00e9but de carri\u00e8re<\/a> et ex-forces<\/a>, et STEM initiatives<\/a>. Local volunteering efforts that range from community support to environmental restoration. Partnerships that create pathways into employment for people who might otherwise be excluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\nScience-based targets approved<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
In 2025, Morson Edge<\/a> et Morson Vital<\/a> reached a key sustainability milestone, with near-term targets officially validated by the Science Based Targets initiative<\/a>. This achievement reflects a shared commitment to taking meaningful action on climate change and building a more sustainable future.<\/p>\n\n\n\nVolunteering and community impact<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Our people lead from the front. In Q4, volunteers planted 1,446 hedgerows at Rainford Delph Farm. Sleeves rolled up, real impact on the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Across the year:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- 200+ hours of volunteering across career events, STEM workshops and community initiatives<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Support for 12 charities and local groups, including food banks, parks and youth programmes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
From sharing expertise to creating opportunities, these actions add up. Small efforts. Lasting social value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Creating opportunity through partnership<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Working alongside industry partners, we\u2019ve shown how delivery and social value can go hand in hand. A recent infrastructure project combined technical delivery with hands-on training, equipping individuals with practical skills and improving their employment prospects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
None of these efforts stand alone. Their value lies in accumulation. In the way small, consistent actions begin to shift something bigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Social value and environmental responsibility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Social value is increasingly seen as a measure of real impact. Not profit, but contribution. It reflects how organisations engage with society to improve communities, economies and the environment around them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For Morson, that responsibility is built into the way work is delivered. We focus on reducing inequality, widening access to opportunity and supporting sustainable employment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Evidence shows that inclusive pathways into work do more than change individual prospects. They create longer-term benefits for families and communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The shift towards purpose-led business is no longer up for debate. Research indicates:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- 70% of employees would not join an organisation without a clear purpose<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- 89% of executives see purpose as a source of competitive advantage<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Purpose-driven organisations report up to 40% higher retention<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
The implications are practical. Organisations that embed social value into decision-making tend to see stronger engagement, improved retention and greater customer trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Morson\u2019s commitment to sustainability – our word is our legacy <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Inclusive practices help people from all backgrounds access opportunity, schools and youth programmes inspire the next generation and help with skill shortages, charities and local groups have more resources for vital support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That commitment continues to evolve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019re excited to share the first edition of our new quarterly Sustainability Newsletter, along with the launch of our Sustainability Champions, designed to turn ambition into measurable impact across environmental and social initiatives.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe first edition sets the tone. The focus is local, people-led and practical. Change driven by those closest to it. Because real change starts locally and it starts with people who care.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nClick on the link below to download the first edition of our Sustainability Newsletter.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-19-112831.png\")
