Sustainability is at the heart of our business
Sustainability lies at the core of our business. We recognise the importance of environmental protection and are fully committed to conducting our operations responsibly. Our primary focus is on using ethically sourced materials from sustainable deposits. Whenever possible, we prioritise the use of recycled products or industrial by-products for relevant applications.
As a company heavily reliant on natural minerals for all aspects of modern life, we ensure that mineral extraction takes place only in ecologically suitable deposits. Our site selection process is designed to minimise environmental and social impacts.
At all levels of management, we prioritise environmentally responsible practices, adhering to all relevant legislation and regulatory standards.
We actively promote the use of energy-efficient dashing aggregates in insulation systems under government initiatives such as the Green Deal and ECO, to strike a balance in the use of raw materials.
Our landscaping products are natural and comply with Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS), providing a sustainable alternative to hard landscaping. In our commitment to sustainability, some of our products used in resin-bonded applications are developed from recycled and reconstituted materials that would otherwise end up in landfills.
Throughout our sourcing, production, and transportation processes, we follow best practices in sustainability. All our products are certified to meet the highest standards.
We wholeheartedly welcome clients who share our sustainability values, and we collaborate with suppliers who equally respect and value the natural resources supporting our industry.
