Sustainability
USP Steels are building for the future.
With everything that we do, we are consciously aware it will have an impact on our surroundings, the planet and the future. That’s why as a business we are trying to be forward thinking and be as sustainable as possible, building for a sustainable future.
With our buildings internally and externally we have consciously made decisions along the way to make sure our site is more sustainable and eco-friendlier. Our head office based in Kingswinford, West Midlands has been constructed to include various energy efficient solutions.
Solar Panels have been used on the roof of our new offices, due to their low carbon and renewable source of energy. An example of the energy savings here, a typical home solar PV system could save around one tonne of carbon per year, depending on where you live in the UK. Just think of what our offices could save.
We encourage the use of electric cars throughout the business. All our company cars are electric, and we had included EV charging points in our car park to encourage our staff to use where possible. We are also investing in forklift trucks that are electric and will continue to add to our all electric fleet.
Our offices are fully insulated, with improved insulation and cladding, resulting in overall lower energy usage and costs.
We are also very conscious of our suppliers, and all of our steel comes from high quality steel mills which is important to us as a stockist and supplier. Many of our supply chain partners are working on ways to reduce the carbon footprint of the planet and are forward thinking into how we can all work together to help the planet.
