Sustainable solutions

We are committed to helping our customers build a sustainable future by offering reduced embodied carbon products through large-scale steel supply decarbonisation, aiming for at least a 30% reduction in scope 3 emissions by 2030 and 70% by 2045. We will continue developing products that enhance building energy performance, ensuring compliance with Part L regulations and The Future Homes Standard for 2025. Our product range will support industries driving sustainability, including renewable energy generation, while maintaining alignment with their evolving needs. We will also provide third-party verified, product-specific EPDs and ensure responsible sourcing certification (BES 6001) for our entire product range, giving customers confidence in our commitment to sustainability.

We are committed to protecting and enhancing biodiversity across our sites, recognising that environmental responsibility benefits both the local ecosystem and the wellbeing of employees and the community. Our approach includes ensuring environmental management plans deliver a net positive gain in biodiversity, protecting habitats to support wildlife such as birds, bats, owls, and hedgehogs, and creating nature areas with sensory planting and wildflower spaces to encourage insect life while providing employees with relaxing green spaces. Additionally, we will train mental health first aiders to support employee wellbeing, reinforcing our dedication to a sustainable and healthy workplace.

We are committed to maximising material efficiency by reducing on-site waste and increasing waste recovery, ensuring that every Catnic employee can contribute, no matter how small. Our approach includes minimising yield losses and fully recycling ferrous scrap, collaborating with waste contractors to enhance segregation and recycling rates in line with Welsh Government policy (2024), developing waste management systems to eliminate all unavoidable site waste to landfill by 2030, and reducing packaging waste while increasing recycled content for both our operations and our customers.

As a company we aim to minimise yield losses throughout our processes, ensuring that all ferrous scrap is fully recycled through efficient routes. Our goal is to work with waste contractors to improve segregation and maximise recovery and recycling rates, ensuring that all waste is segregated in line with Welsh Government policy. We aim to develop waste management systems to reduce waste on site and improve awareness of recycling and circularity, aiming to eliminate all unavoidable site waste to landfill by 2030. And work towards minimisation of packaging waste for both ourselves, and our customers, and maximise the recycled content in our packaging.
