Cognition Land & Water: A Zero Carbon Company

11 November 2025

At Cognition Land and Water, we pride ourselves on being an environmentally friendly and conscious company with a deep focus on the sustainability of our work. In 2020, we adopted a Zero-Carbon Policy and by May 2021, we had become the first carbon-neutral contamination remediation and ground engineering contractor in the UK.

We recognise that the greatest contribution we can make to reducing our carbon emissions is through the work we do for our clients. Some examples of the innovative practices we have implemented to enable this include:

  • Treating contaminated soils, manufacturing aggregates from demolition arisings and enabling their reuse, to directly reduce the need for the import of virgin material, prevent disposal and irreversible loss of natural resources and keep lorries off the road.
  • Developing and applying innovative and novel technologies that are energy efficient and target specific contaminants such as our proprietary FabEx extraction system that directly removes free product from groundwater, eliminating the need to pump, treat and dispose of large volumes of water.
  • Research and development in the field of bioremediation has enabled us to develop treatment additives to tackle some of the most heavily contaminated soils, enabling their reuse rather than disposal to landfill.

As our company grows, we will continue to focus on reducing our carbon consumption.
