Sustainable Business
We've always focussed on doing the right thing. We know that we have a responsibility to keep improving, build a better business and contribute to a better society.
Our environmental footprint
As a business, we want to minimise the our environmental footprint in a practical and commercial way.
We are focused on reducing our impact by minimising our Scope 1 and 2 emissions, but when it comes to the footprint of our significant vehicle fleet, the speed to achieve this will also be dictated by available technology and infrastructure.
Our goal is to achieve ‘Net Zero’ by 2050. We are also targeting delivering a 35% reduction in our Scope 2 emissions by 2030.
Our commitments
Absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions reduction from our FY21 baseline.
Work in partnership with our suppliers to measure our impact and find innovative ways to reduce our collective footprint.
Publish our progress against our sustainability strategy annually.
Health & safety
Everyone has the right to a safe workplace. We’re committed to providing an environment where everyone can leave work in the same, if not better, condition physically and mentally.
Our approach to safety is kept front of mind through our ‘SafeR Standards’ which are adopted at all levels of the business. We complete thousands of ‘safety walks’ through our network every year, and our team are always empowered and supported to create a safe environment.
"I am proud to work for a company that promotes a safe working environment from within, safety is everybody's responsibility and we look out for each other." - Khalif White, Branch Manager
Diversity & inclusion
We know that with a diverse and inclusive workforce we can achieve more. We want to develop and celebrate an environment with a diverse range of views, backgrounds, genders and cultures, and where our people, customers and partners feel included.
In doing so, we know we will collaborate better, drive more innovation and be a business where anyone can feel they belong.
We have a range of business initiatives that support this approach. Operating in an industry that has traditionally been male dominated, we are particularly focused on building a pipeline of gender diversity, although we know this will take time.
Responsible sourcing
We have a strong commitment to ensuring we have an ethical supply chain, so that our team and customers can be sure that they can trust the products they buy from Reece.
As a business, we aim to have a positive impact on our customers, our people and the communities where we operate. We oppose all forms of slavery and forced labour in our operations and supply chain.
We continue to work collaboratively with our suppliers and our industry to address this important issue. We are working to refine our approach, deliver continuous improvement and work towards maintaining an ethical and sustainable supply chain. Our approach is set out in our Modern Slavery statement.
Reducing waste
The construction and trade industries can be high contributors to landfill waste. We know that tackling this is a priority for our team and customers.
We are focused on finding ways for our team and customers to improve waste diversion, while also tackling waste at the source by working with suppliers on product packaging and increasing product circularity.
We are still at an early stage in this process. Our current priorities include understanding how to capture the recycling initiatives within our business and challenging and educating our people to achieve the highest diversion possible.
