Sustainability at NVS Group

Our commitment to a sustainable future

It’s important that we do all we can to limit our environmental impact, and we’re determined to deliver a greener pawprint. That’s why we’ve created a programme, to address all areas of our operation and ensure we’re on track to meet our goals of a sustainable future. The elements of this programme are outlined below and will help us deliver a greener pawprint.

The Circular Economy

The foundation of any sustainability policy; we’re committed to supporting the transition towards a circular economy by challenging ourselves to focus on the four core steps:

• Reduce the unnecessary use of raw materials and the amount of waste we produce.
• Reuse materials where possible, especially those that may have been considered disposable.
• Recycle items that are at the end of their lifecycle into something new and useful.
• Rethink our use and choice of products in the first instance, is there a more sustainable solution?

A sustainable workplace

From our central warehouse and headquarters to our offices, depots, and laboratories, we are constantly looking for ways to decrease emissions, reduce waste, improve energy efficiency, and generally create more sustainable workplaces

We moved our NVS Group headquarters to a new purpose-built and sustainable warehouse and distribution facility, in the Summer of 2023. The new facility, Spitfire House, has a number of eco-friendly features, including: photovoltaic (solar) panels, high-grade enhanced cladding, rainwater harvesting, internal and external high-efficiency dimmable LED lighting and electric vehicle charging points. We are very proud that our new facilities conform to a BREEAM rating of ‘excellent’ and achieve an energy performance certificate (EPC) rating of A.
