Environmental, Social and Governance
At Ex-Tech Signalling, we prioritise ESG by reducing environmental impact and operational risks, meeting customer expectations, boosting employee engagement, and promoting a diverse, inclusive culture.
Actions and Meaningful Results
Since becoming part of the Pioneer Safety Group, Ex-Tech Signalling took a significant step towards achieving Net Zero by 2050 in 2023. We streamlined processes and relocated some production areas to new facilities.
Our factory in Plymouth, Devon, is just one aspect of our ongoing efforts. We continue to evolve our behaviours and processes to ensure we operate sustainably and responsibly, with a clear focus on keeping people safe.
Energy Reduction
As part of our ESG and ISO 14001 initiatives, we’ve concentrated on reducing our electricity and gas consumption.
To achieve significant results, we installed intelligent lighting systems in our facilities, reduced compressor usage, standardised site working hours, automatically controlled unnecessary AC and heater use, and reduced heat loss in specific areas, among other initiatives.
Net Zero 2050
With a focus on Net Zero 2050, Ex-Tech Signalling has fostered a culture of responsibility within our team. Alongside encouraging behavioural changes in daily duties, we promote cycling to work through a cycle-to-work scheme, walking, and car sharing, among other initiatives.
Additionally, we are committed to reducing our impact on the climate by collaborating with local schemes, getting involved in beach cleans and engage in other environmental projects.
