In alignment with the UNSDG – Life on Land, Mercury works with a number of organisations across Europe involved in projects that strive to preserve and restore biodiversity. 🌍💚 In Germany, we have partnered with NABU e.V. an organisation which focuses on the restoration of rivers, by reactivating flood channels, dismantling levees and planting alluvial forests, enabling the river to regain its natural flow and become a habitat again for endangered species such as the Lapwing bird. These important preservation efforts help protect against extreme flooding and form a buffer for times of low precipitation. Additionally, the alluvial forest helps sequester carbon emissions. This is our second year of partnership with NABU. Our donation of €12,000 will go to the organisations’ Flussfonds initiative, allowing preparation of the land, planting and securing of trees and providing initial care at the Lower Havel, a wetland of international importance located near Berlin. Our ongoing commitment to organisations like NABU helps ensure these vital ecosystems are protected and helps us continue in our promise to create a more sustainable world around us. #OurPlanetOurDuty

To celebrate Pride Month in June, Mercury invited celebrated GAA star Dónal Óg Cusack to speak with our team about the power of diversity, inclusion and showing up as your authentic self. 🌈🎉 As a former goalkeeper for the Cork senior hurling team, he has captivated fans with his exceptional skills, dedication, and leadership. His legacy in GAA is one of excellence and inspiration. Donal Óg’s talents and achievements extend far beyond the pitch. He is also an accomplished engineering manager, demonstrating the same passion and precision in his professional career as he does in sports. An advocate for the LGBTQ community, Donal Óg became one of the first openly gay elite Irish sportsman when he came out in 2009, breaking perceptions around men in sport. This open, honest, and inspiring conversation explored the intersections of his careers in sport and engineering. An interactive Q&A session gave our team members the opportunity to ask specific questions, providing further insight into his journey on and off the pitch. “There’s a great power in being true to who you are. You’ll find most people are good people and will have your back and want to see you succeed no matter what.” Dónal Óg’s story is a powerful reminder of the power of authenticity and resilience. We’d like to thank him for speaking so openly, and providing an opportunity for reflection, helping us understand the importance of embracing diversity and different perspectives in our industry.

In 2019, Mercury introduced a City & Guilds accredited safety course to equip our managers and site supervisors with essential skills to manage crews safely and effectively. By Q1 2024, 1033 senior personnel across Europe have completed the training. This unique training was developed for members who are responsible for planning and managing our teams. Since its launch, the course has been a resounding success, contributing to injury rates halving from 2021 to Q1 2024 and receiving high praise from participants. The Mercury SVSM training programme blends theoretical and practical workshops, focusing on health, safety, welfare, environmental issues, and legal responsibilities related to supervision. Topics include: 👷 👷🏾♀️ Empowerment of site supervisors: empowering site supervisors by providing them with essential knowledge and skills to fulfil their critical role in ensuring the safety and well-being of all Mercury crews on site. 🥇 Leadership development: emphasising the importance of promoting health and safety through effective leadership, thereby fostering a culture of safety among supervised teams. 📋 Endorsement and standardisation: Endorsed by City & Guilds and Mercury senior management, the programme sets the standard for training all construction supervisors/ forepersons across Mercury sites, ensuring consistency and quality in supervision practices. The unique learning outcomes of this course set us apart in the industry, and we have extended this training to our supply chain to embed "The Mercury Way" across all projects. #WorkSafeHomeSafe
