Since 2023 we have been members of PRIME, the sustainability framework for the property and construction industry. Every year our progress is independently moderated against six principles. This page shows where we are, what we have measured, and what comes next.
CC Group joined PRIME in 2023 to improve the environmental and social impact of how we build and how we run our business. Each of our divisions (CC London, CC Country, CC Bespoke and CC Maintain) and our head office has a PRIME lead, who reviews our initiatives for practicality and effect and reports progress to the directors.
Since 2025 we have changed how we measure. We report each initiative with one outcome measure, normalised where it helps (for example energy per office employee), on a consistent November-to-November year. We retire measures once a saving is fully embedded, and we report our carbon offsetting separately from our own operational emissions.
Our priorities for 2026 to 2027 are lower office energy per person and a renewable supply, a cleaner fleet on the way to a fully electric fleet by 2030, offering clients sustainable options on every project, growing early-career opportunities and paying our supply chain promptly.
We publish our PRIME score and our sustainability data on this page after every annual moderation.
Each of the six principles is scored from 1 to 5, and a level only counts when every part of it can be evidenced. Tap a step to see what it takes.
Joined PRIME. First assessment, with aims set across all six principles.
Aims turned into actions, and actions into measurements.
Hybrid vans, more apprentices, record fundraising. Moderated as "a really positive member of PRIME".
Our target for this year's rescore, in November 2026: every initiative measured year on year. The moderated result will be published here.
Years run November to November. Figures for 2026 run to the end of October 2026 and are confirmed after our annual moderation. Ecologi figures are carbon avoided through offsetting projects, reported separately from our own emissions.

"Saying what you're going to do, and then doing what you said you would."
PRIME's sixth principle is about honesty. We publish our numbers, including the ones that need correcting.
