As leaders in the modular construction industry, we recognise the importance of sustainability for our customers, investors, and the communities we serve.

We’re committed to delivering low-carbon, energy-efficient buildings through offsite construction that reduces waste, emissions, and disruption.

We’re targeting net zero carbon emissions by 2040, guided by principles of circularity—with modular buildings that are reusable, reconfigurable, and recyclable.

Our operations have achieved zero waste to landfill, with materials either recycled or converted into energy. We integrate low and zero-carbon technologies like solar panels and passive ventilation to reduce energy use and emissions.

Our precision manufacturing exceeds air permeability standards, improving energy performance and reducing running costs. We also power all manufacturing and office sites with 100% renewable energy.

Strengthened by our ISO 14001:2015 certification and partnership with ISEP, we are continuously improving our sustainability performance and building a better future through every project.

Premier Modular’s environmental strategy is anchored in its purpose-driven ethos: to deliver modular solutions that support a circular economy and reduce environmental impact while enabling communities and businesses to thrive.

Championing people and communities

At Premier Modular Group, our growth is powered by purpose. We recognise that every project we deliver impacts real people and real communities—and we’re committed to making that impact positive.

We believe that modular construction is not just about buildings—it’s about building opportunity, inclusion, and wellbeing. We take pride in being a responsible employer and a trusted community partner. From sourcing labour locally to supporting regional and national charities, we actively contribute to the places we work. Our CSI committee leads meaningful initiatives—from building spaces for youth groups to supporting schools, charities, and environmental causes.

Creating a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment for our people is fundamental. We continually review our health and safety practices, prioritise mental and physical wellbeing, and uphold the highest standards across our group.

We’re also invested in the future. Through the Premier Modular Academy and a strong focus on training and internal development, we’re growing talent from within and creating long-term opportunities for our teams. Because for us, success isn’t just measured in buildings—it’s measured in lives improved, communities strengthened, and people empowered.
