Hydram Sheet Metalwork takes its corporate and social responsibilities for staff welfare, health & safety in the workplace and for protecting the environment very seriously.
Led by a dedicated SHE manager the company achieved the ISO 14001 Environmental Standard in 2010 and constantly reviews its progress against environmental performance targets which include pollution prevention, reducing its carbon footprint, minimising use of packaging, and waste segregation within its precision sheet metal fabrication business.
All products are fabricated from metals. In the financial year 2022-23, the average carbon dioxide emissions (CO2e) value to produce a typical part was 0.71kg. This value includes procurement of materials, manufacturing and delivery of the part. At end of life all products and packaging can be recycled. If products are not recycled any waste products should be disposed of in accordance with local environmental control regulations.
Hydram achieved the ISO 45001:2018 Occupational Health & Safety standard in October 2018 and held the previous BS OHSAS 18001 standard since 2012. This demonstrates the company’s commitment to occupational health and safety, as well as continuously improving the related management systems.
