Acting Responsibly, Creating Real Impact

Our Commitment to Social and Environmental Responsibility

We conduct our business with a strong sense of responsibility toward society and the environment. Our policies reflect this commitment and cover crucial areas such as anti-corruption, anti-slavery, equal opportunities, health & safety, and human rights.

At Brockwell Energy, we foster a positive work environment that respects public interest and values integrity. Our policies are designed to uphold these principles and ensure we’re actively contributing to a positive social impact.

Community engagement

Our renewable energy projects aim to bring lasting benefits to local communities, with a special focus on former coal-producing areas where the shift to clean energy can make the greatest difference. We work closely with local stakeholders to create initiatives that support community needs and foster economic growth. Our approach to community engagement is built on listening, understanding, and acting with purpose.

Our Commitment includes:

Community support
In line with best practices, we offer minimum community funding of £5,000 per installed MW per year for our wind developments, allowing local communities to allocate funds where they see the most value.
Local contracting and sponsorship
We prioritise hiring local contractors and supporting local initiatives, reinforcing our commitment to community-driven growth.
Trust funds for local priorities
We establish trust funds to address specific local needs, allowing communities to directly benefit from our developments.

Collaborative community benefits

We engage with communities from the earliest stages of each project, shaping community benefit packages around their feedback. By working closely with residents, we create innovative, lasting benefits tailored to community aspirations. Whether supporting local businesses or fostering long-term economic initiatives, we’re committed to realising community goals together.

Environmental responsibility

Sustainable development and environmental sensitivity

At Brockwell Energy, we strive to ensure our projects are designed with environmental sensitivity and efficiency at the core. Our approach recognises the importance of minimising any potential impacts and respecting local communities, especially in areas with a history of coal mining. We remain mindful of local priorities for regeneration and environmental improvement.

A low-impact approach to energy

In every project, we consider potential environmental impacts and take decisive steps to minimise them. By integrating these practices, we aim to create renewable energy projects that respect the environment, support regeneration, and contribute positively to community wellbeing.

Brownfield development
We prioritise brownfield land and former open cast areas, repurposing existing sites for sustainable development.
Landscape and visual assessments
Detailed assessments guide our design, taking views from high ground and nearby communities into account.
Ecological enhancements
We actively fund peat habitat restoration, wildlife repopulation, and conservation efforts to preserve biodiversity.
Sustainable replanting
With the support of Forestry and Land Scotland, our replanting efforts focus on sustainability, amenity value, and environmental resilience.
Recreational access
We establish access tracks and routes to encourage long-term recreational use, linking communities and enhancing local amenity spaces.
