Light Steel Frame Association member and leader in lightweight construction solutions, Etex, have published its Sustainability Report, detailing its commitment to achieving ambitious environmental goals across five priority focus areas. The report, full details of which are available to download from the Etex website, sets out their Road to Sustainability 2030.
The eighty-one-page report looks at Etex's achievements in driving the sustainability conversation forward over the past twelve months. It also contains guidance on the changes needed – particularly regarding health and safety, engagement, diversity and inclusion, decarbonisation, and circularity.
The report also stresses the importance of sustainability as a key strategic driver in the construction sector, particularly in light of the long way the UK still has to go to meet carbon reduction targets. The report highlights the commitment Etex has made to establishing themselves not only as sustainability leaders, but champions of positive change.
Amongst these achievements, improvements made by Etex in their production processes has led to reduced wastage, amounting to more than 45,000 tonnes of waste avoided in 2021. In recognition of this and other efforts to drive sustainability, Etex received a silver medal from EcoVadis, the world's largest and most trusted provider of business sustainability ratings, for best-in-class sustainability management. The silver medal gives Etex a position in the top 25% of all companies evaluated by EcoVadis.
Bernard Delvaux, CEO said: "Today Etex has sustainability as a guiding compass of business transformation, with objectives that reflect the company's ambition. We are on an exciting journey towards improving sustainability in the short and long term. We know there is a long road ahead, which is why we invite all our stakeholders to further support us in becoming a leading benchmark in our industry."
