Trigon Fire Safety Ltd [“Trigon”] is an independent fire engineering consultancy. We specialise in solving unique fire safety challenges for all building types and uses; and can demonstrate extensive experience throughout the built environment. As an independent fire safety consultancy, we strive to provide the highest quality advice whilst ensuring life safety is always our priority.
Trigon is committed to delivering projects by maintaining the following three core values:
People: Trigon focuses on clients, collaborators, end users and being an outstanding employer.

At Trigon, we are committed to fostering a sustainable future through our business practices and operations, consultancy work and advice, and impact and engagement with communities. We recognize the critical importance of environmental and social responsibility, and we strive to integrate these values into every aspect of our operations.
We believe that fire safety engineers play a crucial role in achieving a more sustainable world as fire safety impacts the social, environmental and economic pillars of sustainability. In our work and research activities as fire safety engineers, we naturally consider life safety, but also the impact of fire and smoke on communities and individuals, furthermore the impact on the environment, as well as property protection, business continuity and brand protection. Fire Safety is strongly embedded in the approach towards a more sustainable world.
“Sustainable buildings are: resilient, energy-efficient, environmental and economical friendly and safe building.”
Goals
Our sustainability goals include:
Culture of Sustainability: We aim to foster a culture of sustainable and ethical behaviour within our team, encouraging employees to embrace environmentally friendly practices both at work and in their personal lives; and projects we can influence. Through training and resources, we empower our team to be advocates for sustainability.
Research & Engineering Solutions: We are dedicated to investing research into sustainable fire safety solutions that can be adopted to building projects, and we develop fire engineering solutions that are enablers to sustainable design. This includes using repurposing of existing buildings, recyclable materials, timber buildings, use of green energy solutions, reducing harmful substances, focusing on economically friendly, resilient and manageable buildings and fire safety systems, and supporting a circular economy in the built environment.
Reducing Environmental Impact: We regularly assess, monitor and minimize our carbon footprint through energy-efficient practices, sustainable travel practices, waste reduction, and the sustainable sourcing of materials. Each year our aim is to achieve Carbon Neutral status via Carbon Neutral Britain (UK’s leading Carbon Offsetting initiative).
Excellent Employer: We are a people focused business and looking to build and maintain a team of outstanding engineers and business support, creating a team atmosphere to inspire innovation and excellence. We constantly invest in training and development and provide a framework supporting our staff during various stages of life.
Community Engagement: We believe in the power of collaboration. We actively engage with our local communities, stakeholders, and partners to promote sustainability initiatives. This includes education programs, community clean-up events, and partnerships with local organizations to enhance our collective impact; or encourage and support future generations via work experience, placement and scholarship opportunities.
Summary
By embracing these principles, Trigons aims to not only minimize our environmental impact but also contribute positively on projects we work on, serve the clients and stakeholders we work for and help the communities to serve the planet we all share.
Together, we can create a more sustainable and equitable future for the generations to come.
