Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) at Chandler Materials

Our Commitment
Chandler Materials Essex TP are committed to; operating a sustainable business, protecting our environment and the future of our planet, supporting our community & colleagues, ensuring we are compliant with all governance relevant to our business.
Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) stands for how we impact the planet, people and how the company is run. It refers to the three key areas that help us run a better, more responsible business. For us as a builders merchant, ESG means everything from reducing energy and waste, to stocking sustainable products, supporting staff wellbeing, working with our local community to support projects or renovations for the good of local people and ensuring our suppliers follow good practices.
We have introduced ESG Champions across the different departments across the business. These Champions are there to:
- Raise awareness and share knowledge about sustainability issues
- Motivate & inspire Stakeholders to get involved
- Show that sustainable practices are achievable
- Overcome resistance to change and keep momentum going
