Our Policies

The carbon footprint of our manufacturing and distribution processes is extremely important to us, as it’s an area we can directly control and allows us to demonstrate our commitment to sustainability in our own backyard.
 

Energy reductions:

During 2010 we implemented several projects to enable us to meet our energy reduction target:

We have already met this target… 2 years ahead of time!
 

We can demonstrate 15.3% gas reduction (even with the coldest winter since records began) and 10.4% electricity reduction since our 2008 baseline… an outstanding achievement by our team.
 

Fuel reductions:

We have also made significant progress in our distribution activities and have restructured the way in which we make our deliveries. We have seen that although we have distributed a volume of paint 5% greater than 2009, the deliveries only increased by 1.5% in 2010.
