SUSTAINABILITY

At Kloeckner Metals UK we are passionate about our part in building a sustainable future and minimising the impact on our planet.

For us, sustainability is about much more than our impact on the earth’s natural resources. It is also about sustaining human communities and contributing towards sustainable development. We believe sustainability is the conjunction of Social, Environmental and Economic aspects, or to put in another way;

PLANET, PEOPLE & PROFIT

Our Sustainability Mission

"We aim to transform our industry by playing an active role in building a sustainable future for our employees, customers, community and future generations. We care about social, economical and environmental wellbeing and have aligned our policies with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)”.

PLANET

As individuals and as an organisation, we can have an effect in reducing our impact on our planet.

We can never go back, so as a company we have to balance our needs with a mind on how we affect our stakeholders and our environment.

Given the nature of our business we have identified the areas where we have the biggest potential to contribute to the UN SDGs:

PEOPLE

We are committed to being a ‘good neighbour’ and will engage with our local community stakeholders and respond to any complaints or incidents. We recognise that we all have a significant role to play in the communities where we work and live.

Areas we can contribute to:

PROFIT

We recognise that our purchasing decisions can affect society and the environment beyond our own operations. In making profit, we also give back to communities around us, our supply chain and those who surround our employees.
