Business Principles

As a leading international supplier of insulation and related materials our core business is focused on the reduction of energy consumption and the subsequent reduction in harmful environmental impacts. The Group’s Environmental Policy was reviewed in 2008. The policy is displayed in all trading sites and offices throughout the Group. Environmental objectives and targets have been established at relevant functions and levels within the organisation.

SIG believes that it is in the Group’s best interests to be aware of, and seeks to minimise the risks arising from, the social and environmental impact of its activities and is committed to conducting its activities and operations in line with current legislation and best environmental practice, seeking continual improvement and innovation within all Group businesses and activities.

The Chief Executive, Mr. C.J. Davies, is the Board Director responsible for the environmental performance of the Group. Each individual subsidiary Managing Director is responsible for the environmental performance of their own business. SIG is committed to minimising the environmental impact of its activities through good environmental management practices.

All SIG plc companies actively seek to:

• minimise the use of all materials, supplies and energy – and wherever possible use renewable or recyclable materials;
• minimise the quantity of waste produced in all aspects of our business;
• adopt an environmentally sound transport policy;
• communicate our environmental policy to all staff and encourage them to participate in the achievement of our goals;
• supply and promote, wherever possible, those products which contribute to energy conservation and do not damage the environment; and
• ensure that the Company continues to meet present and future environmental standards and legislation.
