How Ashtons is Committed to ESG

At Ashtons, we are deeply committed to reducing our carbon footprint through both short- and long-term strategies. Our goal is to achieve a 90% reduction in carbon emissions by 2040. To reach this target, we are focusing on improving energy efficiency, cutting transport emissions, and optimising our supply chains.

On the social front, we believe in investing in our people and fostering a positive workplace culture. Initiatives like hybrid working, employee well-being programmes, and a recent upgrade to our benefits package are just some of the ways we support our team and enhance job satisfaction.

From a governance perspective, our dedicated ESG Board plays a key role in ensuring accountability and driving progress towards our sustainability targets. By prioritising ESG principles, we are reducing our environmental impact, meeting industry standards, and building trust with our customers, employees, and investors.
