We are committed to improving sustainability and making a positive impact.

Sustainability is central to everything we do. We are committed to reducing our environmental impact across all areas of the business by operating cleaner, smarter, and more efficiently.

This commitment is reflected in our compliance with ISO 14001:2015 environmental management standards and our use of advanced material optimisation software to maximise yield and minimise waste. By carefully managing resources and refining our processes, we aim to reduce environmental impact without compromising quality.

We continually seek new ways to improve and reduce our environmental footprint. From minimising shop floor waste to adopting electric vehicles, every part of our process is designed to create positive outcomes while maintaining the quality and performance expected from Proteus.

Sustainable Pratice

Sustainability is at the heart of how we work. We are committed to reducing our environmental impact and making smarter, cleaner choices across every part of the business.

  • Sustainability Pratice with our electric forklift truck

    Sustainability isn’t just something we do; it’s who we are. We’re always looking for new ways to reduce our environmental impact. Our external sales team drives electric cars, and all our forklift trucks are electric too. In the factory, we’ve installed roof lights to make the most of natural daylight and motion-sensor lighting, which has already cut energy use by 75%. When it comes to logistics, we make sure to group deliveries and work with our supply chain to reduce Scope 3 emissions. For us, sustainability isn’t about ticking boxes; it’s about making smart, practical changes that actually make a difference while still delivering the quality you expect.

  • Recycling Metal

    We take waste reduction seriously. Our systems are optimised to minimise material wastage at every step of the process. The factory produces minimal waste, and any leftover material is either recycled or transformed into renewable energy. To ensure waste is properly managed and put to good use, we partner with specialists who handle recycling and energy transformation. We are always working to find new ways to reduce waste, contributing to a more sustainable future. Our commitment to waste reduction is part of a larger effort to promote energy efficiency and prevent pollution, ensuring our operations are as eco-friendly as possible.

  • ISO14001

    We are fully committed to maintaining the highest standards in sustainability, which is why we follow the ISO 14001:2015 standard. This internationally recognised certification helps us manage our environmental impact through a structured management system. Regular audits ensure we comply with both legal and environmental requirements. These reviews are a key part of our commitment to continuous improvement, helping us stay on track and evolve with best practice.

Responsible Innovation

From product design to long term goals, our focus is on creating solutions that last and are better for the planet. We think ahead, continuously improve, and work towards a more sustainable future.

  • Oxford High School Facades

    Sustainability is embedded in the design of our products. We engineer them to last, ensuring efficient performance throughout their life cycle. When it’s time for replacement, we recommend breaking them down for recycling, as they are designed to be easily recycled. This reduces waste and supports a circular economy. Our systems are also low maintenance, meaning fewer site visits and less need for consumables, which lowers their environmental impact. We focus on creating solutions that perform well today and can be sustainably managed throughout their life cycle, ensuring a lasting positive impact on both our clients and the environment.

  • Proteus SC Wind Turbine

    Looking ahead, we are committed to exploring sustainable opportunities for the future. We are actively investigating options for on-site renewable energy generation, which will help reduce our environmental impact and support our long-term sustainability goals. As we continue to grow, we will keep sustainability at the heart of our operations, shaping how we do business and driving us towards a greener, more sustainable future.
