As a leading manufacturer within the building products industry, Leaderflush Shapland has adopted a dynamic approach to our various social responsibilities.

We value the world we live in and constantly strive to implement best working practises aimed at maximising potential environmental benefits and minimising possible adverse effects.

By taking such issues seriously, we believe we can have a positive impact on the well being of society and so we have gone well beyond legal compliance to integrate socially responsible behaviour into our core values.

Leaderflush Shapland on timber

Despite timber being one of the construction industry’s most renewable products, it is often surrounded by controversy. At Leaderflush Shapland we have taken account of these concerns.

We are committed to sourcing timber from legal sources and seek evidence of such
We will not source any timber species prohibited under Appendix 1 of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES)
We have developed and implemented tracking systems independently, assessed by BM Trada, to meet the requirements of the FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) Chain of Custody (COC) scheme (TT-COC-1844)

Leaderflush Shapland on the environment

As well as our strict timber purchasing policy, our responsibilities transfer to wider environmental issues.

We have developed a comprehensive Environmental Management System in accordance with BS EN ISO 14001
We comprehensively research the whole life costings of our products
We use our own timber waste to fuel the boilers which provide energy for heating our premises
We actively try to minimise noise pollution especially outside normal working hours
We take every care to dispose of waste in the correct manner and reduce emissions to the atmosphere at every opportunity

At Leaderflush Shapland we see our social responsibility as an integral part of our business and understand that it has a significant role to play in our continued success.
