INTRODUCTION

At Sapphire Balconies, we believe that our business has a crucial role to play in promoting sustainability and protecting the environment for future generations. As a company, we are committed to integrating Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) principles into all aspects of our operations, from product design to corporate decision making.

OUR APPROACH

At Sapphire Balconies, we take an ethical and transparent approach to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) initiatives. Our approach is based on science and we are committed to avoiding greenwashing. Our focus is on meaningful, impactful initiatives that align with our company mantra, purpose, and values.

OUR VISION

Our 2030 ESG vision is ambitious and based on our company’s mantra, purpose, and values. We are committed to making a positive impact on the environment and society while still being profitable. Our vision is to be a leader in the construction industry, driving sustainability and responsible practices.

OVERVIEW OF OUR PROGRESS SO FAR

We have been committed to sustainable improvements and certification since 2009, but until recently, our extensive charitable support was not publicly known (we don’t want it to appear like it was done for publicity).

We were proud to be the first company in the balcony sector to create full EPDs covering all stages and from the cast in anchor to the full balcony, soffit and balustrade. We remain committed to continued research and creating new EPDs for each new generation of balcony product we create.

OUR COMMITMENTS

We are committed to Science Based Targets (SBTs) and our chosen United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We have carefully chosen a selection that we can own and deliver on.

We are also committed to continue producing and using EPDs to create transparency and empower our customers to make informed decisions about their environmental footprint.

We have committed ourselves to further events and content which educates the market about the right and ethical approaches to sustainability. This includes combating the all too common greenwashing in our sector.

PHYSICAL EVIDENCE TO PROGRESS

Our cross-departmental team is dedicated to achieving our ESG goals. See who these people are and understand some of the sustainability progress we have led already. Our proof includes evidence of our significant investments, including switching to electric vehicles, renewable energy, and investing in a biodiverse area through ATW Group. Our investments serve as physical evidence of our commitment to our ESG vision and progress.
