Delivering a better tomorrow
Committed to a brighter future for our employees, customers, planet and community.
As a fifth-generation family business, we have long been guided by the ethics of honesty, fairness and doing the right thing. It’s our duty to deliver profit for the business while looking after people, places and the planet.
Our Delivering a Better Tomorrow initiative covers all aspects of our corporate social responsibility, including reducing our carbon emissions, giving back to the community and making sure our employees are happy and healthy at work.
Our main sustainability focus areas for the near future are to carry on reducing our carbon emissions with the help of Climate Partner, raising funds for our chosen charity partners, and adding to our already excellent employee welfare programme.
Environmental impact
We are serious about reducing our carbon emissions. The stats show that, in the last five years, we’ve taken meaningful steps and achieved measurable reductions.
Thanks to these actions, we reduced our carbon emissions by a huge 46% between 2019 and 2022. We reduced our emissions by a further 16% between 2022 and 2023.
