Sustainability and Environment

At Watts we endeavour to manufacture and sell polyurethane products with the least amount of environmental impact as possible. We are developing systems and innovative solutions across key areas such as production, energy, transport, purchasing and waste.  We are also working with contractors and suppliers to reduce their environmental impact, as well as our own.

Equal attention and action is given to sustainability and environmental issues throughout the office and factory and we are fully committed to sustainability and environmental issues, with a long-term aim to exceed our best practice.

A Watts Environmental/Sustainability Co-ordinator is nominated to focus on sustainability, environmental issues, and help develop innovative solutions to support our business’ impact on our planet and eco-system.

Apart from the immediate benefit in ‘going green’ we hope that Watts’ focus on sustainable practices will impact the industry through our suppliers, contractors and customers.
