West Fraser is inspired by a vision of a future where forests, products and innovation work together to address climate change
As with any conscientious organisation, West Fraser’ s approach to sustainability is rooted in science; and guided by global standards which result in forests, products and innovation working together to address climate change. Here, David Connacher, West Fraser’ s UK Marketing Manager explains the story.
Given the evolving nature of carbon accounting in the forestry industry, West Fraser, as a leader in sustainability worldwide, is taking a diligent, prudent approach to understanding and reporting on emissions and carbon sequestration. Onwards, the company is advancing efforts to accurately and credibly characterise the carbon story in collaboration with industry leaders and community partners.
The organisation has made progress in the Science Based Targets initiative( SBTi), validating 2030 commitments, including planning for and addressing essential elements that will help work towards establishing a net-zero pathway.
In 2024, the team continued working on a land-use carbon emission assessment and a governance framework for a comprehensive transition plan covering all emission scopes.

A SUPERIOR SURVEYING SERVICE
At Malcolm Hughes we understand that retro-fit projects often stand at the crossroads of preserving history and embracing modernity. It is an intricate dance, especially during complex projects, but one we as a Chartered Land Survey Company, love to do.
Precision Mapping
Retro-fit projects require a deep understanding of existing conditions. At Malcolm Hughes we utilise cuttingedge technologies like LiDAR, GNSS, and UAV’ s to capture accurate data about terrain, building dimensions, and architectural nuances. This precision becomes the cornerstone for informed decision-making throughout the project.
Historical Preservation
Historic preservation demands authenticity. At Malcolm Hughes we employ 3D scanning and imaging techniques to create meticulous digital replicas of structures. These archives serve as references for architects, ensuring that every modification honours the original design. Preservationists can rest assured, knowing their beloved landmarks are in capable hands.
Environmentally Safe
Sustainability is paramount for the future and restoring old buildings is a fantastic place to start. Our surveyors at Malcolm Hughes optimize site layouts using topographical data, minimizing environmental impact and preserving green spaces. We can also identify hazards, such as flood-prone areas, concrete layers, Japanese knotweed and much more, to help enable strategic mitigation.
