Environmental, Social and Governance

Throughout our history of being a specialist product supplier to the civil engineering industry, we have always made strides to consciously improve our ESG performance. 

In our Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) report (which utilises the efforts and impacts of our parent company Wrekin Products Ltd.), we aim to be transparent with our customers and partners about the ways we are monitoring and improving our impact on the world.

We are committed to working towards minimising the environmental impact of all our activities, from developing products that increase whole-life performance to increasing recycling and reducing waste wherever we can.

We continue to improve our social impact and governance performance. We will continue to review and enhance the way we report on and measure our ESG performance. There has never been a more crucial time to be aware of our social activity, governance responsibility or our environmental impact, and we take this responsibility seriously.

Fully committed to a sustainable future

We pledge to constantly monitor our continued sustainability improvements through the setting of quantifiable objectives and targets on an annual basis. We have introduced a documented environmental management system using BS EN ISO 14001:2004 as the framework to evaluate and improve our environmental performance.

We will comply with relevant environmental legislation and endeavour to stay ahead of proposed legislation by implementing the best practices of the industry wherever this is practical.

In all of these areas, management will take the lead in providing the commitment and focus to empower local teams to make the maximum contribution to improving environmental performance.

This includes the provision of the relevant information, training and resources necessary to enable all employees whose work has a potential environmental impact to make a maximum contribution to achieving our business objectives and targets.

Contributing toward net-zero carbon

As a large supplier to the UK construction industry, managing the reduction of carbon usage is crucial to the success of Geoworks and the wider Wrekin business. We appreciate it is not just the actions of our business as a supplier of civil engineering solutions which needs to be managed, but those of the supply chain we’re a part of.

To this end, we are committed to measuring and managing the reduction of carbon emissions across our activities and those of our suppliers.

A crucial time to take action

Here are just some of the ways we are leading the field in helping to ensure a more sustainable future:

  • We consistently work on improving our environmental performance through the conservation of energy and natural resources and to prevent pollution.
  • We will oversee the reduction and, where possible, the elimination of emissions, nuisances and waste.
  • Our strategy is to prevent creating waste wherever we can and to reuse or recycle - then only as a last resort to dispose of materials in a safely managed way.
  • We partner with our customers and suppliers in the development of returnable, reusable and recyclable packaging.
  • We minimise packaging and, where possible, use recyclable packaging for our products. In fact the vast majority of our products aren't even shipped in packaging - most of our geosynthetic products are moved on pallets or as rolls.
  • We arrange all our meetings responsibly to minimise the need for travel.
