proAV Rated ‘Excellent’ by the Considerate Constructors Scheme

This recognition highlights our commitment to the highest standards in community engagement, environmental responsibility, and workforce welfare. Being honoured by the CCS demonstrates proAV’s dedication to operating responsibly and ethically. It reflects our ongoing efforts not only to meet project goals but also to positively impact the communities we serve and the environments we work within. This achievement is a testament to our leadership in promoting sustainable and considerate construction practices.

Community Engagement

At proAV, establishing strong relationships with the local community and collaborating effectively with other trades on-site are essential to our success. We proactively engage with those around us, creating a respectful and inclusive environment that benefits everyone involved. We understand the importance of close cooperation with the various trades working alongside us on-site. While challenges can arise, our commitment to smooth, efficient collaboration ensures that every project progresses successfully. This cooperative spirit not only enhances the experience for all parties but also contributes significantly to the overall success of the construction process.

A key element of our community engagement strategy is the proAV apprenticeship scheme. By offering valuable training and development opportunities, we are helping to build the next generation of skilled professionals. Beyond our apprenticeship programme, we are deeply involved in social value initiatives, including our charity work with White Lodge as part of our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) efforts. These activities enable us to give back to the community and support meaningful causes, reinforcing our commitment to making a difference both on and off the job site. Whether through on-site collaboration, apprenticeships, or charitable activities, our continuous engagement with the community is designed to drive positive change. These efforts uphold the values that make proAV a leader in considerate construction practices.

Environmental Responsibility

Sustainability is central to proAV's operations, as evidenced by our ISO 14001 certification. This certification underscores our commitment to effective environmental management, with a robust quality system in place to minimise waste, reduce carbon emissions, and ensure our operations have minimal environmental impact. In addition to ISO 14001, we are proud to have achieved gold accreditation with EcoVadis, an independent organisation that evaluates companies on their sustainability credentials. This recognition supports our broader goal of moving towards NetZero, as we continue to refine our processes and invest in sustainable technologies. Recently, proAV was also shortlisted as a nominee for Sustainability Initiative of the Year in the 2024 AV Awards, highlighting our leadership in sustainability within the industry. Our environmental efforts go beyond compliance—they reflect our commitment to leading by example. As we advance towards a more sustainable future, proAV is dedicated to making significant contributions to environmental stewardship and setting new benchmarks in responsible construction.

Workplace Welfare

Promoting a healthy and inclusive work environment at proAV is a fundamental part of our approach. We invest heavily in robust training programmes to ensure our team is well-prepared and continuously updated on new systems and project requirements. This includes site-specific training tailored to the unique needs of each project, as well as Modern Slavery Awareness training to ensure compliance and awareness. Mental health is a significant focus for us. We arrange Mental Health Awareness courses and actively support initiatives like ‘Wear It Green Day,’ which promotes well-being and provides crucial support to our employees. These efforts reflect our commitment to creating a supportive atmosphere where everyone’s mental health is prioritised.

Our dedication to workforce development extends to providing comprehensive induction processes and ongoing feedback. Good management practices, regular briefings, and a commitment to diversity and safety ensure that our employees feel valued and secure. By fostering a culture of continuous improvement and open communication, we aim to support our workforce and promote their overall well-being. Through these initiatives, proAV not only supports the development and welfare of our employees but also maintains a positive and productive work environment, contributing to our success as a responsible and considerate employer.

Receiving recognition from the Considerate Constructors Scheme is a proud moment for proAV. It not only validates our commitment to the highest standards of community engagement, environmental responsibility, and workforce welfare but also reinforces our reputation as a leader in the construction industry. This recognition reflects our ongoing efforts to exceed expectations and uphold the values that drive our success. We are dedicated to continuously improving and setting new benchmarks in all aspects of our work. As we celebrate this achievement, we remain focused on our mission to deliver excellence in every project and make a positive impact on the communities and environments we serve. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this success. We look forward to building on this achievement and continuing to lead by example in the construction industry.
