Carbon Reduction & Offsetting

We understand the importance of reducing carbon emissions and limiting the harmful effects of climate change. We have pledged to be carbon-neutral throughout our UK and European premises by 2025.

  • Deliver a greener product with a lower carbon footprint
  • Achieved a 92% reduction in energy consumption for decorations since 2000

Using renewable energy sources like hydro power during production, our low-carbon aluminium has a reduced carbon footprint per kg of aluminium of just 4kg (less than a quarter of the global average).

We continue to work on lifecycle product innovations to will drive further savings of resources and energy, because we believe that now is the time to lead our industry towards a more sustainable and responsible tomorrow.
