In 2025 we generated £124 million in social value, measured through the Social Value Portal, across five pillars: environment and Net Zero; health, safety and wellbeing; our people; responsible procurement; and communities and giving. In July 2026 we were awarded EcoVadis Gold, placing us in the top 5% of companies assessed.

COMMUNITIES & GIVING
Working with our communities
Our people's skills are the most valuable thing we can give. In the last year colleagues gave ~600 volunteering hours to more than 30 community projects, from a youth charity's new home in Barrow-in-Furness to free refrigeration for a Barra abattoir.
OUR PEOPLE
Pathways into engineering careers
30 apprentices enrolled in the last year, each with a mentor. We work with local schools to bring more young people and women into engineering, and support service leavers through the Armed Forces Covenant.
RESPONSIBLE PROCUREMENT
Supporting the local supply chain
70%+ of our spend is with small and medium-sized businesses. Our Supplier Code of Conduct and ESG checks set clear standards, and we work with suppliers to cut carbon.
ENVIRONMENT & NET ZERO
Reducing our environmental impact
Net Zero by 2040 with SBTi-approved targets. In 2025 we cut carbon intensity by 8%, diverted 99.6% of waste from landfill and moved our car fleet to hybrid.
HEALTH, SAFETY & WELLBEING
Home Safe Every Day
Zero RIDDOR-reportable incidents and more than 18,000 hours of training in the last year.
