Ethics and the Environment

Corporate ethics, support for our local community, and respect for our environment are key to all Plumb Partners Group companies.

We recognise that we have an impact, and where possible we try to make that a positive impact.

Looking after the environment

The majority of our product range is more environmentally friendly than more traditional materials or methods, in terms of manufacture and long term usage.

• Our plastic and multi-layer plastic pipes have a lower carbon footprint in manufacture than older copper or steel based technologies.
• Our underfloor heating systems use less energy compared to radiator systems, and have a much longer lifespan.
• Our packaging is recycled or from sustainable sources
• We recycle wherever possible
• We use low energy products within our premises
• We turn VDU’s and lights off when not in use.
• We encourage our staff to car share or walk / cycle to work
• We use environmentally friendly products for office cleaning
• We buy fair-trade office supplies

And we encourage our suppliers to adopt similar methods.
