Sustainable Leadership

OUR APPROACH

Lead the ESG agenda. Use knowledge and technology to develop ways of helping customers be informed, make better choices and measure their impact, whilst driving suppliers to develop innovative products that bring better answers. 

Investing in the communities we operate within. Encourage the next generation into the industry through inspiring apprenticeship programmes & working with schools.

RESPONSIBLE SOURCING

Keyline, as a part of the Travis Perkins plc, is committed to the principles of responsible sourcing. We source quality products from approved suppliers to create resilient and transparent supply chains designed to help reduce the impact on the environment.

CARBON REDUCTION

Our carbon reduction efforts have been acknowledged by the Carbon Trust standard. Its membership of the WWF’s global forest and trade network, and of the Green Building Council continue to inform the group’s improvement plans.

PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT

All brands in the Travis Perkins group regards social responsibility as an essential factor in the continued success of our business. We operate a formal environmental management system and we are committed to including environmental considerations in our decision making at every level within the company.

REDUCING OUR DELIVERY CARBON FOOTPRINT

As a FORS Gold fleet operator, we measure and report our carbon dioxide emissions. We’ve invested in route planning software. We track our vehicles, monitor their speed and performance, and manage zoned deliveries.

MARKET LEADING APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMME

As part of Travis Perkins PLC, we recognise that the development of our people is key to securing the future of the Group’s businesses and the construction industry more widely. 

With over 1000 apprentices and 40+ apprenticeship programmes and a range of workplace and training opportunities on offer, we are a great career destination, but can only help to build better communities and enhance lives by providing a wide development curriculum offering. 

This means upskilling existing colleagues and introducing new colleagues, who can bring different and enhanced capabilities and perspectives to the business and the wider construction supply sector.
