Our modular solutions are designed with a social purpose - as smart spaces where people work, learn and live. They are frequently used for schools, healthcare facilities, housing and other vital social infrastructure. We measure our impact on people and the planet as social value.

Actions for social value
We use our Loops within Loops circular model not just for environmental resource efficiency, but also to create social value. This approach ensures that fairness, inclusion and opportunity keeps circulating through our workforce and communities
Through responsible business practices, we’re proud to create social value for our people, communities, customers, suppliers and the planet. Our work provides employment, education and practical experience that support income, career development and the emergence of future leaders, while promoting fair opportunities and upholding freedom of association.
By strengthening skills, supporting innovation and encouraging circular economy practices, we help build social prosperity and expand access to new employment pathways. Our low carbon products contribute to healthier, more resilient workforces and communities, supporting safety, wellbeing and long-term capability. At the same time, our actions help decarbonisation efforts, improve resource efficiency, reducing environmental risks and promoting biodiversity. Together, these outcomes enhance resilience, support sustainable growth and deliver lasting social and environmental benefits.
Process and policies for social value
We measure our contribution to social equity, inclusion and workforce resilience, reinforcing our role as a responsible employer and our collaboration with stakeholders on social impacts, risks and opportunities.
Equal and fair treatment is embedded across all aspects of work and pay, underpinned by robust HR governance, inclusive policies and programmes including, EDI, HR, ESGS, Mental Health, Code of Ethics, Modern Slavery Statement and Healthier Workforce. The Group upholds fair treatment, meaningful work, equitable pay and safe working conditions in line with international standards, supported by constructive engagement with Unions and Works Councils. We operate unbiased recruitment, contributing to above-industry female representation in leadership and continued progress against gender-related KPIs.
Transparent engagement and consistent leadership communication strengthens trust across the organisation, while investment in training, apprenticeships and updated equality policies supports skills development, improved gender participation and wider community engagement.
Our approach to social value aligns with ESRS, the UN Global Compact Principles, the Sustainable Development Goals, and core UK social value themes, ensuring that our practices reflect recognised international standards as well as national expectations for fair, responsible, and socially beneficial business conduct.

Safety: a key social value
Modulaire is committed to fostering a culture where health and safety are the foremost priorities for employees, contractors and agency workers. Safety is embedded across our circular business model, Loops within Loops - reinforcing behaviours, refreshing practices, and cascading accountability across all levels of the organisation.
Through continuous learning and development, we equip individuals with the skills and confidence to uphold world-class safety standards, ensuring a secure and responsible working environment.
We ensure that health, safety and social value remain core priorities across our organisation, providing safe and fair working conditions for all. Governance structures reinforce this commitment, with Board level and management incentives directly linked to safety and social value performance, supported by weekly safety conversations and structured reporting loops that keep performance metrics grounded in real workforce engagement. Our engagement loops are strengthened by a global HSE team operating across 23 countries, delivering extensive safety training, observations and initiatives that enhance risk awareness, mutual care and injury prevention. Lessons learned are continually reintegrated into training, policy and practice, creating a cycle of continuous improvement. As a result, safety performance continues to advance, with measurable improvements in risk perception, injury prevention and workforce resilience, strengthening trust, accountability and long term social value creation.

2025 Enhancement metric update:
- Transitioning from Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) to the Recordable Incident Rate (RIR).
- This metric calculates the number of OSHA-recordable injuries or illnesses per 100 full-time employees annually and allows for benchmarking against industry standards.
- RIR Formula: Total OSHA-recordable incidents x 200,000 / Total hours worked
- Understanding recordable incidents: these include workplace injuries or illnesses that meet criteria such as medical treatment beyond first aid, days away from work, restricted duties or job transfers, loss of consciousness due to workplace events. Diagnosed work-related illnesses, include chronic conditions like hearing loss or respiratory issues.
Enhanced safety observations:
The focus will shift to improving the quality of safety observations by removing entries that do not meet defined quality criteria.

World Engineering Day 2025
Modulaire Group is dedicated to advancing modular build solutions that integrate environmental and social needs. Engineering sits at the cornerstone of our vision for a sustainable future. Our engineers work with purpose to achieve Net-Zero, guided by the UN Sustainable Development Goals, using design skills and innovation to help customers respond faster to changing needs in the world around them.
In 2025, Modulaire Group became an official partner of World Engineering Day (WED), a year-long international campaign of events, films, and news highlighting the pivotal role of engineering in reaching the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
An official International Day (March 4th), as proclaimed by UNESCO, WED is operated by the World Federation of Engineering Organisations (WFEO), the global body that spans members from more than100 countries and represents over 30 million engineers worldwide.
WED 2026 has an estimated global reach of more than 100 million individuals, and provides a springboard for governments, UNassociated organisations, policymakers, educators and leaders in the public and private sectors to raise awareness of the importance of engineering around the world.
Modulaire promoted the campaign across our media channels, sharing profiles of our own engineers and the daily contribution they make to our business and a short film was produced, sharing our approach to sustainable development.

In 2025, Modulaire Group produced and shared a short film in support of WED 2025, outlining the circular approach we use to deliver low-carbon modular infrastructure and services.

“We are committed to seizing the moment and leading the way in engineering sustainable products that seamlessly integrate environmental and social needs. Together, we are not just shaping a better tomorrow - we are building it with every design and every innovation.”
