British Gypsum Ltd - signs up to zero carbon commitment
British Gypsum has become one of the first
construction product manufacturers to sign up to the
Government’s zero carbon strategy, as a founding
signatory of the ‘2016 Commitment’, published today (8th
August 2007).
The Commitment, which has been formulated to support the
Government’s recent re-assertion of a zero carbon target
for all new homes by the year 2016, is the first step in
formalising support for the initiative across house
builders and organisations working within and supplying
the housebuilding sector.
As a signatory to the 2016 Commitment, British Gypsum is
not only underlining its support for the zero carbon
target, but is committing to work in partnership with
other signatories to resolve the issues that must be
tackled before the target can be achieved.
Mike Chaldecott, Managing Director of British Gypsum,
sees signing the Commitment as just another step in his
company’s drive to deliver sustainable building
solutions. “We are committed as a company to drive
sustainability throughout the business, from the way we
manage our day-to-day operations and environmental
obligations to the way we work with customers to develop
solutions that minimise waste, and our increasing use of
recycled raw materials.
“We are already working in partnership with many of the
UK’s leading house builders on ways to reduce the
whole-life impact of our products, and see the 2016
Commitment as a natural extension of this work. We are
delighted to be the first plasterboard manufacturer to
sign up to the Commitment, which I am sure will be a
catalyst for higher environmental standards throughout
the industry.
