Setting the standard for health, safety and wellbeing

We are committed to the health, safety and wellbeing of our employees, communities and suppliers and organise a range of events throughout the year to support this.

We are proud to be recognised by The 5% Club with its top platinum standard for our approach to work-based learning and have re-signed the Armed Forces Covenant, demonstrating our commitment to being an Armed Forces friendly employer.

We strive to be a responsible operator and manage our activities to maximise the social value we are creating and our latest social profit report for 2022 showed we generated almost £54 million of social profit in the UK.

Our employees are encouraged to take one day of paid leave each year to volunteer to support local projects and activities and our direct/indirect contributions to registered charities and other organisations which we support was more than £122,000 last year.

In 2023 we became one of the first companies in the UK to be certified to the new ISO 19443 standard, which seeks to drive nuclear safety culture, and, in 2024, we became the first building materials company to achieve the latest BES 6001 Responsible Sourcing standard, which covers the environmental and social issues for organisational and supply chain management.
