An increased focus on sustainability and recognition of the social and environmental responsibilities of the construction industry has prompted A. Proctor Group to set up a dedicated Sustainability Focus Group demonstrating the commitment of the company to achieving positive impact through action.
The group led by A. Proctor Managing Director Keira Proctor brings together a fourteen-strong collective of specialists covering technical, operations, manufacturing, IT, marketing, sales, and accounts. The group is a new initiative however the company has already been instrumental in driving improvements in energy efficiency, waste reduction and recycling.
Keira Proctor said of the initiative: "For more than 50 years, the group has been serving the construction industry with high-quality, innovative solutions. As a family business, we are committed to continuously improving how we protect our communities and environment and care for our employees and customers. Sustainability is fundamental to our corporate vision and business philosophy, to provide and care for the future legacy of the generations that follow us."
"The creation of a dedicated Sustainability Focus Group has generated much interest within the business. The group will investigate and review our internal processes, materials, and work closely with our external supply chains and customers."
"The focus group is committed to ensuring the A. Proctor Group can lower its environmental impact while still offering customers the high performance products they need to maintain a healthy building fabric."
The Sustainability Focus Group will meet regularly and look forward to reporting on progress as this crucial work unfolds further.
