Environmental

At CWG Group we work closely with our Clients, Key Stakeholders and particularly with our Supply Chain to reduce the impact we make on the environment. We have in place an Environmental Management System that is accredited to BS EN SO 14001:2015.

There are many elements to consider within our roofing and construction activities to ensure that we deliver a responsible and sustainable service to our Clients. We incorporate circular economy principles across our business. This includes recycling or reusing materials, reducing energy and water use, and complying with all the requirements of our ISO 14001 accreditation and our accreditations with CHAS, Constructionline, NFRC and Considerate Constructors.
