With a Carbon Neutral (scope 1 & 2) of 2030, the ARDEX Group UK
recently worked with Achilles (Recognised Certified Body) to accurately reduce and measure their Carbon Footprints endorsed by verifiable commitment to
reduce emissions and to continually improve environmental performance.
Achilles’ Carbon Reduce (powered by
Toitu) scheme highlights the necessary data from all activities which is critiqued under the ISO 14064:1 scheme.
Measuring carbon output under ISO 14064-1 includes company vehicles, business travel, fuel and electricity, water and waste, to name a few. In return, this assists ARDEX Group UK to accurately identify areas of the business where they can reduce their emissions and consequent impacts on the environment.

Horiz.indd 1 07/12/2022 14:28 South London loft conversion specialist fi nds multiple uses for West Fraser’s SterlingOSB Zero
A family-run fi rm from Surrey, which specialises in loft conversions and the creation of bespoke garden rooms, is making extensive use of SterlingOSB Zero from panel product manufacturer, West Fraser, based on the board’s value, performance and ease of installation. MB Loft Conversions, based in Caterham, was established eight years ago by Mark Bell. Typically, the company completes up to a dozen loft conversions and other projects each year. Mark purchases his SterlingOSB Zero from Selhurst Timber and other builders merchants’ local to clients’ properties. While he mainly prefers to use 18 mm tongue and groove boards for their strength and excellent alignment when laid, some of MB Loft Conversions’ builds also use quantities of 11 mm (square edge) SterlingOSB Zero. Mark Bell commented: “There is a number of reasons why we prefer to use both West Fraser’s 8x4 and 8x2 T&G Sterling OSB Zero, apart from it being a product I’m very familiar with. We know we can rely on the quality, while the 18 mm T&G boards are like gold when it comes to doing fl at roofs and make a really good deck.
