Whilst also showcasing the fantastic Rainforest Trust projects we have been able to support with your help.
EnviroBuild 2023 Impact Report:
In 2023, EnviroBuild continued its commitment to sustainability by focusing on enhancing product quality and reducing environmental impact, ensuring that green choices involve no compromises. This Impact Report highlights the collaborative efforts between EnviroBuild, its customers, and partners like the Rainforest Trust, detailing significant achievements and ongoing improvements across various product lines. The company has prioritized the use of renewable energy and sustainable materials, contributing to a more sustainable future for both EnviroBuild and its customers. Key accomplishments for the year include:
- Total wind energy used: 1,211,418 kWh, powering all composite products, Manticore substructure, and LVT flooring with 100% renewable wind energy.
- Plastic diverted from landfill: 903,691 kg of recycled plastic used in composite products and Manticore plastic lumber, preventing waste from entering landfills.
- Total operational GHG offset: 93,061,000 kg CO2e offset from company operations, including employee commutes, business travel, and energy usage across all facilities.
- Total product greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions: 10,336,937 kg CO2e, an increase from 2022 primarily due to higher sales of aluminium products, yet 12.3% better than in 2020.
- Product GHG emissions per revenue: 0.796 kg CO2e/GBP, reflecting the increased product emissions while allowing for comparative analysis across different industries.

We had a lot more time and space to think over 2020 and 2021, some of which we used to really consider the impact we want to make. After discussions with the team, it was clear we saw ourselves as campaigners within an industry that was not changing its environmental impact fast enough.
Judging the scale of the problem, we believe nothing less than a sustainable revolution in the construction industry will suffice. This means research, innovation and fundamentally changing how things are done will be put at the core of our sustainability planning.

We’ve now put countless hours into creating assessments on the lifetime impact of our current offering - and we’ve backed this up with action! Using our assessments to find sustainability gaps has allowed us to begin to remedy them.
