Our four focus areas
Decarbonisation
We actively seek to reduce carbon emissions throughout our value chain, from design, material sourcing and manufacturing, to transportation, installation and caring for façades. We take a holistic approach to understanding how design solutions contribute to the whole-life carbon of our projects and our own carbon reduction targets, knowing there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Our bespoke façade systems mean that we create bespoke façade Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), working with multiple design options as early as possible to find a solution within the wider parameters of each project.
Climate resilience
We are committed to minimising our contribution to climate change through innovative designs that respond to ever-increasing extreme climate events and taking a sensitive approach to our surroundings at our manufacturing facilities. We rigorously manage environmental risks associated with our operations and adhere to all relevant environmental regulations and legislation.
Resource efficiency and circularity
We strive to minimise resource consumption, reduce waste generation and promote circular economy principles in our design, manufacturing, installation and façade care processes. We consider the environmental impact of our façade solutions throughout their lifecycle, with the goal of extending service life as long as possible. Participating in the circularity of our existing product, from design inception to deconstruction, is a key driver of our current innovation focus.
Social responsibility
We are committed to investing in people and communities, and foster a diverse and inclusive workplace that values the unique perspectives and talents of all employees. Our long-established apprenticeship programmes ensure we’re tapping into the next generation of top talent. We have a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and are committed to upholding human rights throughout our operations and supply chain. We prioritise the sourcing of sustainable and ethically-produced materials, and giving back to the communities in which we work.

Our journey to net zero carbon
Reporting emissions
Permasteelisa Group is committed to a science-based approach to net zero that extends to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. This drives innovation in how we design, manufacture, install and maintain our façades. We are committed to rigorously and transparently tracking, reducing and reporting our Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions (the majority of our impact lies in Scope 3).
Changing processes
To lower our carbon emissions and contribute to our clients’ net zero carbon targets, we are committed to a fundamental shift in our processes, embracing circular economy principles and actively collaborating to minimise our collective environmental footprint across the globe.
A Group-wide approach
We are implementing Group-wide strategies at each stage of our value chain – our pursuit of net zero is intrinsically linked to the value we deliver to our clients.
Environmental Product Declarations
By providing detailed EPDs for our bespoke façades, we empower informed decision-making and enable our clients to achieve their own carbon reduction targets.
