Last year, Coates unveiled its Sustainability Strategy, a framework built on the five key pillars of Our People, Our Communities, Resilience, Eco-Efficiency and Greener Choices. The framework is underpinned by the Circular Economy concept that is based on the principles of designing out waste and pollution, keeping products and materials in use and regenerating natural systems. This approach aims for business growth as well as positive, society-wide benefits, driven by a transition to renewable energy sources. “Our customers are increasingly looking to us for solutions that support the sustainability objectives of their projects and organisations,” said Vitlich. “Our longterm commitment to energy efficiency and investment in emerging and innovative technologies makes us well placed to deliver what our customers need.” In line with this strategy, and to coincide with World Environment Day 2022 themed “Only One Earth” – Coates has unveiled a number of more sustainable equipment and solutions, available as part of the Greener Choices range, which will help the company and its customers achieve Net Zero.
