Environmental Responsibility

Redland has been at the forefront of raising environmental awareness in the construction sector for many years. Redland won a Queen's Award for it's pioneering Cambrian Slate during the 1980s for its high recycled waste content while in 1997 Redland became the first UK roof tile manufacturer to launch a roof-integrated photovoltaic solar panel for generating zero-carbon renewable electricity. In addition to working with the Environment Agency to help protect and improve our environment, Redland operates an environmental policy and management system across all its manufacturing sites covering energy efficiency, waste minimisation, water efficiency and pollution reduction.

Improvement projects in all these areas continuously reduce the embodied envionmental impacts of Redland products so that they meet the needs of our customers and requirements of new building codes such as the Code for Sustainable Homes. (see button below for the government communities website)

This section provides detailed information on our environmental policy, the embodied environmental impact (profiles) of Redland products as well as how Redland demonstrates its commitment to the principle of responsible sourcing. Information can also be found on Redland's continued commitment to harnessing the power of the sun via it's next generation of solar-powered electricity and hot water generators.
