Sustainability
As a major manufacturer of building materials in the UK, British
Gypsum are aware of our corporate responsibilities. Not only
can the manufacturing process make heavy demands on our natural
resources and be energy intensive, but so can the buildings our
products help to construct.
British Gypsum are committed to managing our
responsibilities so as not to cause adverse effects on our
businesses and their communities, and we are committed to the
delivery of products and systems to provide more sustainable
development in the UK.
British
Gypsum’s Corporate Responsibility Review aims to detail our actions
and targets in each of these areas, for all of our stakeholders, to
demonstrate our commitment to future sustainable development.
The Three Pillars of Sustainability Any sustainable development
concerns the balancing of social, economic and environmental
objectives that are also described as the three pillars of
sustainability.
- Social
Sustainability
- We have a corporate responsibility to
identify the needs of individuals and consider their well
being.
- Economic
Sustainability
- We also believe me have to focus on the
importance of stable economic growth.
- Environmental Sustainability
- This is the most recognised and obvious of
the three, not only in construction but in manufacture of products
for construction.
