Sustainability
​
Here at CPS we’re always looking at ways to make our processes more sustainable. From our logistics to the materials we use, careful consideration is given to every aspect of our client’s projects to make sure we’re supplying the most environmentally sustainable products.
Energy – We aim to use power, light and heating provided by suppliers with green credentials. We have recently carried out various projects in aid of our continuous sustainability improvement plans, these include solar panels installed at our head office in Tipton at a cost of circa £125,000 which on high UV days are generating 100% of our electricity usage, roof over clad installed to assist with heat insulation, motion activated lighting and installed a Hyrdogen Conversion on our delivery vehicle to reduce pollution and help prevent climate change.
Supply chain – We ensure that all our suppliers not only provide more eco-friendly products but can demonstrate environmental best practices in everything from the delivery of products down to the recycling of materials.
Premises and location – Our headquarters have excellent energy efficiency and are ideally positioned in the Midlands to serve the UK, reducing miles travelled. Our staff are encouraged to walk, cycle or use public transport to travel to work, making their commutes as environmentally friendly as possible!
Waste management – Every year we are increasing the waste we recycled or materials reused, reducing our carbon footprint in the process, as well as having a corporate social responsibility aspect by offering bags of timber off cuts to pensioners in need of firewood.
