BUILDING
A GREENER
FUTURE
Sustainability is not an afterthought at Premier Building Materials. It is embedded in every decision we make — from the products we stock to the vehicles we drive.
Our Commitments
Waste Reduction
We have reduced landfill waste from our operations by 72% since launch through segregation, recycling partnerships, and smarter packaging.
Renewable Energy
85% of the electricity powering our depot and offices comes from certified renewable sources, with a target of 100% by 2026.
Responsible Timber
100% of the timber we sell is sourced from FSC or PEFC certified forests, guaranteeing responsible and sustainable woodland management.
Fleet Emissions
We have reduced our delivery fleet's carbon emissions by 40% through route optimisation and transitioning to Euro 6 compliant vehicles.
Solar Generation
Rooftop solar panels at our North London depot generate around 30% of our on-site electricity consumption.
Packaging
95% of our packaging is now recyclable or made from recycled content, with a full elimination of single-use plastic by 2025.
Our 2040 Net Zero Pledge
We have committed to reaching net zero carbon emissions across our entire business operations by 2040 — a decade ahead of the UK Government target. This covers our depots, logistics, supply chain, and the embodied carbon of our products.
We publish an annual sustainability report detailing our progress against all targets. If you have questions about our environmental policies, please contact us.
