Environmental Commitments
At Shafton Steel Services, sustainability is integrated into all aspects of our business. We have achieved carbon neutral status through measures such as carbon off setting and investment in carbon capture and storage technologies. We are accredited by Carbon Neutral UK and have reduced our emissions by 2% through switching to LED lighting and a further 36% by adopting green electricity. Furthermore, our initiative to implement the use of biodiesel (HVO) across all our facilities is anticipated to reduce our remaining emissions by another 35%. In addition, the Group is integrating renewable energy sources to reduce dependence on fossil fuels.
Social Commitments
We place great importance on taking an active involvement in improving the communities close to our manufacturing facilities and construction sites. Joining the 5% Club reflects our commitment to education by increasing our involvement with schools and supporting charities chosen by our employees.
