Deceuninck shortlisted at G22
Deceuninck has been shortlisted in the Sustainability Initiative of the Year category at the G22 Awards.
According to Deceuninck, the shortlisting recognises the work that it’s doing to lower the environmental impact of its operations and its pioneering development of next-generation products.
This includes the recent launch of Elegant which has been engineered to maximise thermal performance achieving u-values of as low as 0.88W/m2K, while maximising design reach and minimising stock-holding.
The company has made a multi-million-pound investment in one of Europe’s most advanced recycling and compounding facilities, and has committed to the corporate carbon reduction scheme, Science Based Targets (SBTi).
This includes cutting the CO2 emissions from its own operations (Scope 1&2) by 60% by 2030 from a 2021 baseline.
It has also committed to cut emissions from within its supply chain (Scope 3 emissions) by 48% per tonne by 2030, as part of its wider journey to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
Rob McGlennon, MD, Deceuninck, said: “We know that our customers working in the commercial and specification sectors are already having to evidence the embodied carbon in the products that they supply but it’s no less important in retail as homeowners seek out sustainable products.
“Sustainability is fast becoming a prerequisite for growth and profitability.
“We’re committed to working with our customers and the wider industry to make sure that we are doing everything we can to lower greenhouse gas emissions and the impact of our operations on the environment.”
