Sustainability at SPE
“SPE understand the over-arching driver for environmental development within the supply chain. As a medium sized organisation we need to ensure we develop resilience to scarcity in supply, negate increased costs associated with a changing environment and move away from considering purely price and quality. We are in control of the pace of this change and are focused on the activities required to drive change.
As a family business based in an area of low social mobility, we have a strong reputation for contributing heavily towards the local socio- economic environment. This is a commitment we take extremely seriously irrespective of what is mandated – doing business the right way is in our DNA with our company Values being at the core of everything we do.”
Sam Handley, Executive Director, SPE
Our Pledge
- As a family business we will continue our service to society by doing business in the right way.
- We will make significant progress in understanding the impact of our activities on the planet and act quickly where we can.
- When making commercial decisions, sustainable development must feature as importantly as price & quality.
Environmental Accreditation & Awards
Our Approach
UK SME’s are at the heart of UK manufacturing and often struggle to embrace newer technologies due to barriers of entry such as lack of investment and leadership around innovation.
We have partnered with national, regional bodies and research centres to ensure our SME has a voice and is match ready for the future.
We contribute proportionately to a focused group of industry leaders who campaign for greater awareness and investment for technology to drive advancement across the SME manufacturing sector.
