Our Achievements
Our Commitment
We are committed to being Net Zero by 2050 in line with Science Based Target initiative (SBTi) goals.
We all have a responsibility too drive change and at the Keystone Group, we have the ability to improve the built environment and therefore play our part within the construction industry.
We will succeed by working efficiently, procuring responsibly and reducing waste. We are innovating effectively to operate our business at minimal expense to the environment, whilst supporting the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Our Key Achievements
Our Sustainability Task Force is made up of ‘champions’ from each Keystone Group brand and they are responsible for leading the way in informing our sustainability strategy.
Keystone has committed to the Science Based Target initiative (SBTi) and pledge to become a Net Zero business by 2050.
100% of all energy consumed at our UK production facilities is currently provided by renewable sources.
90% of our manufacturing waste is recycled and we continue to look at ways of improving this percentage.
Investment in PV panels at our Swadlincote and Overseal manufacturing facilities will provide 70% of energy requirements saving 194 tonnes of carbon per year in phase 1 and 504 tonnes in phase 2.
Electric forklifts are now in use across all of our manufacturing facilities.
By switching our Stockgap fleet from diesel to GTL, we have reduced our greenhouse gas emissions by up to 50% with an 88% reduction in nitrogen oxide whilst we seek other green fleet solutions.
