Our environmental commitment
Unique’s focus on ‘Our Future in Fenestration’ entails a strong sense of environmental responsibility. We are driven by a desire to offer products that meet the needs of our customers today whilst taking into account the impact they’ll have tomorrow.
An ISO 14001 accredited business
Unique Window Systems is committed to the highest standards of sustainability.
Our products continue to play an important role in helping to decarbonise the UK’s building stock by improving their thermal efficiency and reducing their subsequent heating and energy demands.
Not content to stop there we also aim to manufacture our fenestration solutions with minimal environmental impact.
Reflecting this, we operate robust environmental management systems as demonstrated by our accreditation to ISO 14001 standards.
Working towards net zero
As part of our drive to be a carbon neutral business, Unique offsets all of our scope 1 and scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) carbon emissions.
To achieve this, we contribute to carbon offsetting projects around the world which have been independently certified by organisations like the UN to confirm their environmental integrity and their contribution to sustainable development.
These projects include the construction of solar and hydro power plants and wind farms.
Reducing consumption and waste
At Unique, we strive to minimise waste and to conserve virgin materials.
Reflecting this, we collect production waste such as offcuts creating during our manufacturing process. This is then recycled and reused as feedstock rather than entering our waste streams.
We also employ eco-friendly delivery strategies to streamline vehicle movements and attributable carbon emissions as well as continually reinvest into more efficient, less polluting machinery and vehicles.
In addition, we have a focus on sustainable material sourcing wherever possible.
