sustainability
our achievements so far
We know what a positive difference we can make to people and our planet. That’s why we’re committed to a variety of sustainable actions across our business. Our overall ambition is to radically advance our environmental and social performance, so that our company, customers and colleagues
are able to thrive now and into the future. Over the next few years, we will focus on improving our sustainability across the whole business within the important areas of Performance and Products. In the past year alone, we’ve re-used or recycled 500 tonnes of materials and reduced both our energy usage and waste production.
• 3181 tonnes of recycled, re-purposed or reprocessed waste in 2021 • 5% year on year reduction in energy consumption KWh per litre of paint produced • 500+ solar panels installed in our new Hull warehouse to generate our own clean energy • awarded ISO 50001 in 2022 • 1,000,000+ paint containers recycled through our Crown Can Back scheme, with help from 2500 trade customers • first UK manufacturer to market 100% post- consumer waste plastic containers (2018) • UK’s first paint range to be awarded vegan verification • 11,000 pallets collected and reused saving 222 tones of timber • 500,000kgs of CO 2 saved since 2019, thanks to our Radial Sustainability Project • 35,000 delivery miles reduced between 2021 Q1 to 2022 Q2 alone, which has equated to 285,000kg of CO 2
But we’re not stopping there. By 2025 we’ll be carbon neutral across all our manufacturing,
we’ll send zero waste to landfill and all our plastic packaging will contain recycled material.
