We’re committed to supporting people and our environment
Our sustainability goals
At Abbey, we’re very conscious of the need to be as sustainable as possible in everything we do, so we’ve invested in some major sustainability initiatives and set ourselves some ambitious goals.
Goal 1
To remove the use of all non-sustainable plastic packaging by December 2025. We are reaching out to our suppliers to ask for their support.
Goal 2
To remove all gas-powered heating and be able to heat our facility using only renewable energy sources by the end of 2025.
Goal 3
To utilise our recently installed solar panels alongside onsite battery storage and wind power to become electrical energy self-sufficient by December 2026.
Other initiatives are helping us
to minimise our carbon footprint
Carbon
Footprint
Our reconditioned attachments provide the same reliable performance, but with a greatly reduced carbon footprint when compared with new.
Less
Waste
Our state-of-the-art shot blasting room generates less waste for landfill, whilst enhancing colleague welfare and working conditions.
Reducing
Emissions
We have replaced old compressors with energy-efficient alternatives, slashing C02 emissions by 2538kg and reducing power consumption by 61.4%
Sustainable
workwear
We have invested in sustainable workwear for our entire team.
Hybrid
Vehicles
67% of our car fleet comprises hybrid vehicles, and this will increase.
Paper
Free
Our workshop and service engineering departments are 90% paper-free.
Renewable
Sources
All our electricity is produced from renewable sources.
ISO14001
Certification
ISO14001 Certification is in process and will help us to further improve efficiencies and reduce waste.
We believe sustainability is about far more than minimising our impact or supplying environmentally friendly products. We’re also committed to continually improving and developing to ensure our business model, finances, and operations, including cyber security are resilient enough to thrive in the long term.

We want to do all we can to support the friends and families of our colleagues, our local community, and the charities that are close to our hearts
