ESG Insights, pg. 4

“Environmental compliance: In 2021, the various businesses within our Group had 61 environmental complaints, fifteen more than last year. Most of these were associated with noise, dust and odour from their manufacturing sites. This year, our businesses received 15 environmental fines Δ with a cost of £75,000 Δ. These were largely due to the treatment of waste water, with three quarters of this year’s fines attributable to one site which is managing legacy issues relating to waste water.”
