Our Environmental Commitment
our COMMITMENT to the environment
hps and environmental sustainability
Environmental sustainability is embedded within our business culture. From innovative product development to reduced water usage, power consumption or product waste, to our internal procedures, our commitment to sustainability runs throughout our company.
Here are some of the things we do to maintain and improve the environmental sustainability of our business, and some of the ways that working with HPS will improve the environmental performance of your own organisation.
Our Products
There are many things businesses can do to help environmental sustainability. Some of the most meaningful improvements come from within manufacturing processes. Simply implementing an HPS pigging solution will nearly always improve your environmental sustainability from the moment it starts operation.
HPS products are proven to reduce waste, increase efficiency, save water, lower the use of cleaning fluids, and other chemicals. They also help reduce the costs and resources used in disposal and transportation, as well as power consumption. So, by using HPS solutions, you’re helping your company towards its environmental sustainability goals.
Our People
We have a Sustainability Officer whose role is to continually improve the environmental sustainability of HPS, as well as encouraging our employees’ awareness of sustainability issues and environmental legislation. This also helps us understand the challenges facing our customers, so that we can help them meet those challenges.
Our Processes
HPS is an ISO 14001 Certified pigging and liquid transfer solutions company. This further demonstrates our total commitment to limiting the environmental impact of our business.
We have a variety of processes within our company that make sure we keep our environmental impact to a minimum. For example, like most companies, we recycle and reuse where we can. Wherever possible we use environmentally friendly materials and manufacturing processes, and give preference to suppliers that also do so.
Our Values
Our brand values of Quality, Innovation, Simplicity and Integrity help us focus on delivering environmentally sustainable solutions to our customers, as well as within the operation of our own business. Integrity in particular means we behave ethically and deliver on our promises, including sustainability.
Work with HPS
Like most other companies, HPS has ambitious sustainability targets and goals. From reducing our water and electricity usage, assessing our supply chain and material usage, investigating re-use, re-purposing and recycling, to responsible sourcing, we are taking steps to decrease waste and minimise our carbon footprint and environmental impact.
There are a whole variety of reasons businesses work with HPS. By working with us, you’re not just working with a company that is committed to sustainability. You’re also working with a company that has integrity. We provide high quality, innovative solutions that can have a profound, positive impact on the environmental footprint of your own organisation.
Our Policy
At HPS we care about the environment. Sustainability is at the core of what we do, with our pigging systems providing fantastic environmental benefits to companies that use them. These include decreased carbon output, water usage, and energy consumption.
In September 2023 we were accredited by Investors in the Environment with their Bronze Award for the HPS Nottingham office. As part of this we have changed how we use resources like electricity, gas and water and lowered our carbon footprint.
Our environmental policy commits HPS to:
- Complying with all applicable standards, laws, requirements, regulations, and public/customer expectations.
- Monitoring our key resource usage and implementing conservation techniques to achieve our environmental targets.
- Implementing a waste management policy.
- Achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050.
- Minimizing unsustainable transport through the development of a travel plan.
- Working with suppliers to ensure they acknowledge and decrease the environmental impact of their products and transportation.
- Involving and regularly updating employees on how we are developing our company sustainability and ways that they can help.
HPS’s Executive Board is fully committed to supporting and implementing the environmental policy.
