Sustainability

As a family-owned business and premier UK supplier of contract sheetmetal manufacture for over three decades Greenfield Engineering’s journey in the reduction of its carbon footprint over the last 10 years has focused more and more on sustainability.

Introducing a more environmental approach in not only our manufacturing processes but across our entire organisation. Our well-established business accreditations didn’t cover a clear pathway to measure our environmental impact across our end-to-end processes.

The company is proud of its development of environmental, economic, and socially focused business model and our key decisions made on the business’s future are made under this business model umbrella.

We are committed to minimising our environmental footprint, promoting social equity, and driving economic prosperity through innovative solutions and responsible practices.

Our Environmental & Sustainability Business Initiatives Actions.

Our Environmental & Sustainability Business Initiatives Action Statement outlines our commitment to proactively address environmental challenges and promote sustainable practices throughout our operations.

Through a combination of strategic initiatives, innovation, and collaboration, we aim to drive positive change and create long-term value for our business and the planet. Key actions include:

Energy Reduction

New generation Atlas Copco’s VSD compressors, FD Dryers, and UD Filters with energy efficient technology on each site. Reduces power consumption from traditional compressors by 40% with lower working variable load.

Installed x337 LED vapour strip lighting technology across both our manufacturing facilities. The new LED fixtures replaced traditional high-intensity discharge and old inefficient fluorescent lights. Creating a more pleasant environment for the team to work in, cost saving and a benefit for electric usage reduction.

In 2013 the first installation of electric charging points to cover electric and PHEV cars for staff, suppliers, and customers. We now have seven charging points available at Neet Way site.

We have installed x3 Regent Solar column streetlights at our Waldon Way site. Two with dual arms and one with a single, they are 30W LED 2700K T-II with auto adjusting optics. As well as cost saving and a benefit for electric usage reduction. This creates a safer car park environment for the team on our second shift and for all users in the darker months of the year.

Energy Generation

Installed photovoltaic panels to produce green electricity at each site;

  • 4 arrays of 354 panels total to Neet Way Site
  • 1 array of 600 panels total to Waldon Way Site

This has led to around 62% of electricity consumed generated by our PV systems.
