Driving Sustainability
A.C. Manufacturing Ltd. is proud to be part of the Lindab Group, sharing the same commitment to sustainability. We believe that doing business responsibly is not optional — it’s essential. At A.C. Manufacturing, we embed sustainability in every aspect of our value chain: from sourcing raw materials to production, logistics, and community engagement.
Sustainable Sourcing
We integrate social, environmental, ethical, and health & safety criteria when selecting our suppliers.
- We have zero tolerance for corruption and violations of human rights.
- We prioritise suppliers who invest in low-carbon and fossil-free steel and have strong CO₂ intensity metrics.
- Wherever feasible, we source from democratic countries within Europe to reduce risk and increase transparency.
- Our goal is to have 100% of suppliers adhere to our code of conduct and be certified to defined standards.
Sustainable Production
We continuously strive to make our manufacturing operations more sustainable. Key focus areas include:
- Improving energy efficiency across all facilities (production units, offices, and stores)
- Increasing use of renewable energy
- Reducing overall energy consumption
- Minimising scrap/waste, and using upcycling or recycling where possible
- Optimising smart packaging to reduce material use
We’ve set measurable goals, such as:
- Cutting CO₂e emissions (scope 1 & 2) by 50% (relative to 2019 levels) by 2030
- Reducing the scrap rate by 50% (vs. 2019 baseline)
- Defining and tracking scope 3 emissions (indirect emissions)
- Setting targets to reduce waste sent to landfill
Sustainable Transportation & Logistics
Transportation is among the most significant contributors to emissions in our operations. To mitigate this, we plan to:
- Transition to renewable fuel vehicles or electric vehicles, aiming for full adoption in future years
- Shift to low-emission or electric company cars by 2030
- Ensure that all transport contracts include environmental requirements (by a target year)
- Move production closer to end customers when feasible, reducing distance travelled
- Collaborate with suppliers and customers on more eco-efficient route planning and shared delivery models
People & Workplace
A sustainable company isn’t only about the environment — it’s about people. At A.C. Manufacturing, we commit to:
- Ensuring safe, fair, inclusive workplaces
- Promoting wellbeing and preventive health & safety measures
- Striving for zero workplace accidents in the long term
- Supporting continuous learning and development for all employees
- Achieving gender balance and diversity within leadership roles
Community & Stakeholder Engagement
We believe in giving back to the communities where we operate. Our approach includes:
- Supporting community initiatives, especially those that align with sustainability
- Encouraging employee involvement in non-profit or local environmental efforts
- Sponsoring programs or events in education, youth, or sustainability causes
This helps strengthen our social license to operate and builds closer relationships with neighbours, customers, and employees.
Governance, Targets & Reporting
Transparency and accountability are key. We will:
- Publicly report our progress against set KPIs and targets
- Regularly review and update goals, setting new stretch targets as we progress
- Ensure governance frameworks are in place to monitor sustainability across business units
- Encourage stakeholder feedback and external audits or assessments
We want our customers, partners, and community to join us on this journey. Explore our sustainability commitment and performance in depth, share your feedback, and let’s work together for a greener future.
