ENVIRONMENTAL CREDENTIALS
We recognise the need to manage the impact which our business and processes have on the environment.
We believe we have a responsibility to contribute to the well-being of the communities we live in.
We are committed to providing a clean, safe environment.
Developing sustainable construction methods presents a challenge to the whole construction industry.
Our main raw material, steel, is eminently recyclable: 85 - 90% of steel from demolition goes for
re-use and 40% of steel used in new construction has been recycled.
By using modern machinery and upgrading our facilities we are continually reducing
the impact of our products on the environment, and improving their contribution
to the long-term performance of buildings.
