We want to shout about our
commitment to the environment
CSR and Sustainability
Advanced Coated Products is committed to its customers, employees and the wider environment. We have clear policies and KPIs in place for Health & Safety, labour and human rights, and ethical business practises. Our sustainability is assessed by EcoVadis.
With regard to our environmental sustainability in particular, we use UV curing technology for our 100% solids, free radical or cationic chemistry coatings. This means the cure is instant in a Nitrogen-flushed environment and the heating ovens of more conventional thermal curing alternatives are not required. We also have a growing competence in sustainable substrate options (eg RPET, BoPP and PE with PIR/PCR content, compostable cellulosic materials and PVOH), and our sustainability planning covers every aspect of new product development, manufacturing and disposal. This means we exceed the requirements of relevant legislation and the stringent demands of our customers.
In support of the UK government’s net zero 2050 strategy, and in association with The Carbon Stamp, ACP has implemented an annual carbon footprint measurement programme This follows ISO 14064 and GHG Protocol Corporate Standards, and assesses our impact on the environment based upon three key areas:
-
Scope 1: Direct emissions from our company-owned or controlled sources.
-
Scope 2: Indirect emissions from the energy we purchase.
-
Scope 3: Indirect emissions from business activities not directly controlled by us.
Based upon this assessment, ACP has neutralised our Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. We have also implemented carbon footprint reduction initiatives across all scope areas, which provides us with an excellent springboard for continuous improvement for the environment and the community.
