Our impact
We understand that as a business we have a significant environmental impact, but we want to take the time to understand that on a deeper level, and to be able to share our findings and commitments.
During 2024, we were assessed by EcoVadis and achieved a bronze medal for our first scorecard. Not bad for our first time around and we will continue to work with this model which reflects the quality of the company’s sustainability management system and commitment to improve and become a more sustainable business.
Our energy
We have been carrying out energy audits through Sensorfact metering, and engaging our teams in the findings and what our reduction plans are.
In February, we saw the replacement of our Substation transformer to one with new tech that is more energy efficient, and we are carrying out periodic ultrasonic leak detection on the Compressed air system to ensure that we are being as responsible as we can here.
We also switched to a 100% renewable electricity tariff which has been a huge step forward within the business, along with installing infrared heaters and destratification fans on the shop floor to make heating the factory more efficient and reduce emissions here, too.
Our commitments
We are committed to sharing our goals and findings, and in January of 2025 we produced our first EPDs (Environmental Product Declaration) which shared the environmental impact of our rooflights.
Sustainability is a journey, and right now we are committed to being the best version of the business that we can be for the benefit of our employees, shareholders, customers, suppliers and local communities.
