Marley Emphasises ESG Strategies in Roofing Products to Promote Sustainability and Ethical Practices
When specifying building products such as roofing materials, factors like appearance, performance, and price are typically top of mind. However, there’s an increasing focus on whether a product is environmentally friendly and socially responsible, and whether a company operates ethically. Many buildings are now evaluated on their environmental and social sustainability through voluntary schemes like BREEAM, LEED, and WELL.
That’s why many manufacturers, including Marley, a market leader in roofing products, are adopting environmental, social, and governance (ESG) strategies to demonstrate their commitment to people, the planet, and the processes they implement.
Marley is dedicated to environmental sustainability and minimising its operational impact. The company is achieving this through various initiatives, including using 100% renewable electricity across all its sites, consistently recycling 100% of production waste, reducing water consumption, supporting biodiversity, and offering innovative products like the Marley SolarTile® and EcoLogic tile.
Marley also recognises the importance of social sustainability. The company is committed to making responsible and lasting contributions to its people, community, customers, and partners. It prioritises health, safety, and wellbeing, provides training to its network of installers, works with universities and colleges across the UK, and supports local work experience and student placements.
Marley’s governance practices guide its business operations towards fairness and transparency in all interactions. The company’s careful sourcing helps specifiers know that the products provided are manufactured from responsible sources. Marley also aims to be transparent in all of its reporting, showing effective progress towards being the best corporate citizens.
Innovation is at the heart of what Marley does, and the company is constantly looking for ways to improve its offering or develop new products that meet the needs of its customers. Marley was the first company to provide dry-fixing roofing systems, and today, dry-fix is the industry standard for both safety and ease of installation.
