METSEC named in Sunday Times Green List

Metsec, one of Europe’s leading specialist engineering companies, has been recognised by The Sunday Times as one of the UK’s Top 50 Best Green Companies in its inaugural ranking of the countries best performing businesses. Metsec achieved an impressive 21st place overall on a national scale and came fourth within the Midlands region where they were the highest placed manufacturer in their class.

The Sunday Times 50 Best Green Companies is a definitive guide to the businesses with the most radically improved environmental performances. Uniquely, the survey also takes into account the views of employees – who get to rate their organisation’s green credentials.

As the UK’s leading producer of cold rolled steel and a supplier to flagship buildings such as the 02 complex in London, judges recognised that Metsec not only has policies on ethical trading and how to manage energy and fuel usage – but that it also has the staff on board to make it happen.

The national newspaper’s employee survey found that staff are aware of Metsec’s green policy, understand the eco-implications of the work they do and feel that the business is doing everything it can to minimise its impact on the environment.

Committed to reducing its gas and electricity usage and increasing the amount of waste to recycling – including metals, card, paper, oil drums, toner cartridges, computer equipment and fluorescent tubes – almost all employees knowing where to put waste items for this process to take place.

Richard Caseby, Managing Editor of The Sunday Times: “All of the companies in this survey are pioneers – enterprising, enlightened and fizzing with new ideas. All have a common sense of purpose about their corporate social responsibility.”

Andrew Gill, Marketing Manager of Metsec said: “There may be plenty of environmental awards but this is the first that has both a robust methodology to measure environmental performance and a survey of our employees to find out whether the green sheen is more than skin deep. We are delighted to have been recognised in this inaugral national award scheme and will continue to devise and implement initiatives to achieve, and exceed, our green targets.”
