At Dowds, ESG isn’t a checkbox – it’s a commitment. A commitment to doing the right thing for our people, our communities, our clients, and our planet. It is embedded in how we think, how we work, and how we lead.
Our approach

We champion safety, wellbeing, fairness, and opportunity—within our business and in the communities we serve. From investing in skills and inclusion to supporting local causes, we are determined to create lasting, positive impact.
Governance
We uphold the highest standards of transparency, ethics, and accountability. Whether in decision-making, risk management, or compliance, we lead with integrity and hold ourselves and our partners to the same.

We believe our responsibility extends beyond project boundaries. As part of every contract and every decision, we ask: how can we make a lasting difference? From grassroots giving to long-term skill-building, we’re proud to play an active role in the places we work.
Our social value strategy includes supporting local employment and apprenticeships; investing in education, schools, and early careers; partnering with charities and community initiatives; and fostering inclusion and economic opportunity through our supply chain.
