Sustainability & Corporate Social Responsibility
Our trade and the wider construction industry continues to place a higher emphasis on sustainability focusing on greener products, reducing waste sent to landfill and reducing our carbon footprint. That’s why we focus on providing sustainable commercial flooring.
Waste Reduction
To date, we have focused on waste reduction, looking for ways of recycling old materials and packaging. Through partnering up with our supply chain we have managed to send back tens of thousands of square metres of carpet tiles and hundreds of adhesive/latex drums.
Corporate Social Responsibility
Corporate social responsibility is also an area where we have started to place more focus, and we have supported a number of local charities or groups both financially and with free issue materials. Organisations we have supported include:
Aberdeen FC Heritage Trust
Aberdeen Lads Club
BECS
CLAN Cancer Support
Friends of Anchor
Man Up Speak Up
MND Scotland
VSA
Sustainable Workforce
We are also always looking to add the next generation to the industry, and we offer a number of apprenticeships to support this. Currently, we have five apprentices at various stages of their four–year development, which is a big number for an SME of our size. We believe that the benefits of taking these individuals through their apprenticeship far outweighs the cost, especially given the reduced number both of professionals and of job opportunities at present. It’s important to us that we work together to secure the future of our industry.
