Acting Responsibly

Acting Responsibly
At Grafton Group plc we are keenly aware of the importance of conducting our business in a socially responsible manner. This is demonstrated in the way we deal with our employees, customers, suppliers and the communities in which we do business.

  • The Environment

    While providing our customers with environmental and sustainable products, and information on how to use them is a core aim of Grafton Group plc our commitment to the environment does not stop there.

    We are also focused on waste management, carbon reduction, sustainable sourcing of timber and complying with all environmental legislation.


  • Health & Safety

    Making all of our trading locations a healthy and safe environment for employees, customers and other visitors is of paramount importance to the Group.

    We invest significant resources to ensure that we are in compliance with all statutory requirements.


  • Our People

    The success of the Group is dependent on the contribution and commitment of our management and staff.

    Treating our people fairly and helping them to grow and succeed in their roles is an important part of the ethos of Grafton Group plc.


  • Plant a Tree with Plumbworld

    Case Study

    Conscious of the environmental effects of their carrier's delivery vehicles Plumbworld set out to do something about it. As each delivery results directly in carbon dioxide emission they were anxious to counteract this.

    The best solution was to plant some trees!


  • Our Communities

    We recognise that Grafton Group plc is an integral part of many communities across the UK, Ireland and elsewhere.

    We like to extend our footprint into the community beyond that of an employer and a resource for building materials and advice by supporting community projects.
