Environmental, Social and Governance
Doing the right the thing, for the environment and for society
Environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) has become a crucial and strategic part of our thinking in the way we do business. As we become more aware of our how our activities impact the environment, we have started to implement changes in our practices in order to offset any potential negative effects.

In an effort to reduce the amount of packaging Tidyco used, an initiative was introduced, which involved reusing supplier packaging. When a box is reused, we seal it with reinforced paper tape and a paper label explaining the initiative - all of which can then be recycled.

Significant investment has been made in the installation of LED lighting across all of Tidcyo's facilities. These new lighting systems require less energy but emit more light than standard fluorescent tubes. In addition to this, they include movement sensors meaning they only come on when they need to.
Tidyco has invested massively into its solar power. There are currently 120 solar panels installed on the roof of both units, which Tidyco occupies, with more in the pipeline, which will be installed above the recently-acquired, adjacent building, Unit 6. This will house the Tidyco Rail Overhaul Facility. Furthermore, any power not consumed is fed back into the grid.
As part of Tidyco's commitment to give back to the community, Production Director Philip Mason has been spearheading a project called Toolbox Challenge, which is aimed at schools in the local area and is designed to give both girls and boys an introduction into STEM subjects and find the next generation of engineers.

We have a number of electric vehicle (EV) charging points installed across the Tidyco premises. Through government funding, a charging point for an electric van has recently been installed in preparation for the arrival of a fully electric commercial vehicle.
Tidyco takes the responsibility towards the safety of its customers, employees as well as positive impact upon the environment and the communities (local, national and global) within which it operates extremely seriously.
