improvements in quality stability, which itself is part of the waste reduction initiative. Swish recognised how important efficient use materials and energy
resources had become, with greater regard to the environmental effects that flow from their use. In light of this, Swish conceived a corporate Resource Use Policy in 2014. The Swish Resource Use Policy sets out the Company’s commitment to
reducing and refining its use of resources based on the principles of Vinyl Plus, the European PVC industry’s own commitment to meaningful environmental action over the period to 2020. In 2015, Swish then achieved ISO50001 Energy Management
Certification, to further demonstrate its commitment to continuing environmental improvement. Swish’s environmental achievements during 2014 and since 2008 look like this: During this period Swish also became the first plastics company to achieve BES6001 Responsible Sourcing certification in order to engage
with its suppliers and ensure their capabilities in environmental matters. So what? You might say. Well, quite a lot, actually. In the highly
competitive world of construction materials, manufacture and supply, production and distribution efficiency are King. Minimising waste and employing efficient methods of production to make products with long a working life and next to no maintenance requirement, creates something of a virtuous circle. Combine this with the wider programme of activities that the Swish
Resource Use policy holds for the future; including short, medium and long term resource usage, alternate material sourcing, staff, supply-chain and installer engagement and a system that allows the return of damaged or misshapen boards for recycling, it all bodes well for the Company. The Code for Sustainable Homes may be a thing of the past but its spirit
continues to guide important principles for the housebuilding industry: Responsible use of raw materials, efficiency in production and minimal environmental impact. Full details of the Swish’s Environmental Performance and Policies are available on the Swish website.
