“Sustainability is now fully integrated into how we conduct our business. Everything we do revolves around our Products, People and Place and this is how we will continue to build a successful and sustainable business.”
The firm has committed to publishing the sustainability report on an annual basis, in a bid to allow customers, employees and stakeholders to see its full range of sustainability initiatives.
Longer-term ambitions for the firm also include moving towards being energy self-sufficient at its sites in Hull through a combination of further investments in biomass plants, solar panels and wind turbines. The company expects these measures to reduce annual emissions by 16 per cent compared to 2022.
