The Walker Group is committed to reducing the amount of waste produced and limiting the impact on the environment.

With such a diverse range of business partners including customers at home and trading partners abroad, our commitment stretches way beyond these shores.

Timber is the only natural, renewable construction material universally available and we are committed to obtaining timber and timber-related products from well managed sustainable resources. Our supplies are purchased from forests that are subject to third party monitoring for accreditation under the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC).

In addition to these most obvious of green credentials our off-site manufacturing operations and our “just-in-time” distribution facilities limit environmental impact further by dramatically reducing material waste and eliminating unnecessary road journeys.

We are currently introducing ISO14001 Environmental Management System at one of our divisions with roll out across other areas of the Group to follow.
