Employee, Social & Environmental Responsibility

Our commitment to people and society

As an employee owned company, we have a deep-rooted belief that if everybody has a stake, then everybody cares.

Our promise to set the standard for measuring success is not limited to the success of our customers. We are committed to taking responsibility for society today and for future generations.

This is why as an employee owned business we commit to investing time and resources in areas that are most important to our employees, partners, the regions, communities and economies where we live and work. Increasing employees’ wealth, creating career opportunities and encouraging and empowering community and charitable work.

Our Environmental Commitments

Stewardship of the Environment is one of our 9 core Guiding Principles, in which we promise, “to promote good environmental practice and minimise the negative effects our business may have on the environment”. As employee owners, each one of us has an ingrained commitment to long-term sustainability and to minimising our environmental impact.

Our plan, which supports this commitment, is now well established and relies on constant appraisal and improvement guided by our own internal Environment Group.

Underpinning our efforts, we have an Environmental Management System in place, certified to ISO 14001.

However, we continually work hard to optimise our energy efficiency with the aim of achieving carbon neutrality.

Our Aberystwyth facility is a great example of this, being powered by 100% ‘green’ electricity from our own PV system – the first large-scale installation of its kind in the region.

Our commitment to longer-term investment in sustainability is extending throughout our business from complex projects including the sustainable redevelopment of our production facilities through to the provision of electric car charging points on site for employee owners and guests.
