Taunton Fabrications Ltd are proud to have achieved Gold member status of the Supply Chain Sustainability School.

The Supply Chain Sustainability School is an award-winning free virtual learning platform around sustainability, with the aim to upskill those working within, or aspiring to work within, the built environment sector. The learning covers the three core pillars of Sustainability – Environmental, Social and Economic – looking at key issues ranging from carbon management through to combatting modern slavery.

Taunton Fabrications faces numerous challenges in its efforts to integrate sustainability into its operations and addressing these challenges requires a holistic approach. This approach must integrate sustainability into all aspects of Taunton Fabrications Ltd.’s manufacturing operations, from procurement and production to distribution and waste management. Collaboration with stakeholders, investment in research and development, and continuous improvement efforts are essential for the company to overcome these challenges and achieve long-term sustainability goals.

Tackling sustainability challenges in manufacturing has led to a range of positive impacts within Taunton Fabrications, including environmental conservation, resource efficiency, innovation, regulatory compliance, enhanced brand reputation, social responsibility, and long-term resilience. Embracing sustainability as a strategic imperative has resulted in creating value for society, the environment, and their stakeholders while driving sustainable growth and profitability.

Gold member status is the highest level of achievement with the supply chain Sustainability School and is a significant accomplishment for Taunton Fabrications, with this recognition underscoring our commitment to sustainability and responsible practices within the supply chain.

“I am thrilled to announce that our team’s dedication to sustainable practices has been recognised with the Gold status award from the Sustainability School. This achievement is a testament to our unwavering commitment to environmental stewardship and responsible resource management,” says Tim Walrond, Compliance Manager for Taunton Fabrications.

“The steel industry is pivotal to the global economy, but it also faces significant sustainable challenges, such as high energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and reliance on non-renewable resources. As a Compliance Manager, it is my responsibility to ensure that our company not only meets but exceeds the environmental standards set forth by regulatory bodies and our own internal benchmarks and I have found the Sustainability School a valuable tool in achieving this.”

“Our commitment to sustainable practices ensures that we operate responsibly, preserve our planet for future generations, and remain competitive in an increasingly eco-conscious market. I am proud to lead our company towards a greener and more sustainable future.”
