Our businesses are firmly focused on improving the environmental performance of their products and services at every stage of their life-cycle. We firmly believe our operations should perform with the environment as a key consideration. As well as this, we expect our suppliers and those we do business with to also take real steps to reduce their impact on the environment. 

Our commitments and principles are:

• Reduce CO₂ emissions - Reduce CO₂ emissions from our operations by 10% between 2012 and 2020.  

• Reduce waste and recycle - Reduce our waste to landfill and ensure products can be reused or recycled at end-of-life.  

• Sustainable extraction of resources - Ensure all products use raw materials from verified resources where these are available.  

• Reduce energy use - Reduce the energy required to produce and supply FB products.  Maximise fuel-switching and pursue innovative alternative fuels and technologies.  

• Water Stewardship - Actively manage waste to use less fresh water and to maximise recycling. Improve water efficiency and minimise water impacts in land management and operations.   

• Develop sustainable Solutions - Provide innovative, practical, system solutions to enable buildings and infrastructure to be sustainable. Influence and support industry education on sustainable construction practices, design principles and measures.
