OUR SUSTAINABILITY STRATEGY
This section sets out how our sustainability approach is structured across the Group.
"We are taking deliberate actions against the priorities set out in our strategy.
The work we’ve done across portfolio development, operational excellence and new product development has helped reduce our Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 65% from our 2023 base year, enabling us to achieve our near-term SBTi target two years early.”
CHRIS MULLIGAN
Group Strategy and Corporate Development Director
"Sustainability is at the heart of our business and underpins our strategy. Our People, Product, Planet programmes are driving our competitive advantage.”

“What matters is how this translates into day-to-day decisions – in our products, our teams and how we support our customers.”

SUSTAINABILITY IN PRACTICE
Our approach to sustainability is part of what differentiates Norcros and strengthens our competitive position.
Sustainability is part of how we operate – shaping our strategy, product design, supply chain and long-term performance. We are committed to managing our environmental impact while developing products that use water and energy more efficiently.
This extends beyond the environment to include our people, governance and the communities in which we live and work. It also includes how we source, service and transport our products, reflecting the impact of our activities across the value chain.
This approach is not separate from our commercial strategy. It supports growth, strengthens our offer to customers and helps us compete more effectively as demand for more sustainable products continues to grow.
FOCUSING ON WHAT MATTERS THE MOST
Our sustainability strategy was developed by assessing the sustainability issues that are important to us and to our stakeholders.
We conducted a materiality assessment in 2022 to define the issues that matter most to our Group from a financial perspective and the issues which impact society and influence our stakeholders. We have continued to reflect on the results of this materiality assessment to ensure that we are focusing on the issues that are the most important to Norcros and our stakeholders.
