The way we live places an unsustainable burden on the world, and we all need to take urgent action. Scott Bader is very clear about our role in making a positive difference:

• To become a fully sustainable business by 2036 having a net positive impact on the environment from all our global operations.
• To make a positive social impact wherever we operate, to our colleagues and local communities.

Challenging but extremely necessary, we are making good progress towards our 2036 Vision, so much so that we have been awarded Gold rating by the Ecovadis scheme for the second year in a row, a sustainable and recognised ratings platform for global supply chains.

We are proud of our latest progress made in 2023 compared to 2021:

How have we done this?

• Changing our energy contracts with 85% of our manufacturing sites now powered by green energy – and there’s more to follow.
• Switching our reliance on gas to electric.
• Installing solar in more sites.
• Using more energy efficient methods to manage systems such as steam.
