Sustainability
A total committment to operating in a sustainable and responsible matter.
Nettex has a proven track record in supporting UK agriculture since its foundation 1983. We are in the supply of innovative and technological solutions products to support animal welfare and support efficient production. We acknowledge the significance and the threat of climate change, now and in the future, which presents an immense challenge for all industry stakeholders. We therefore recognise the importance of ensuring we actively develop all our business operations with sustainability as the core principle, whilst helping our customers meet their own environmental goals.
As part of the Rumenco Group, Nettex is totally committed to the goal of operating in a sustainable and responsible manner. The Leadership and all staff are fully engaged in considering the environment in all daily activities and searching for solutions to positively improve our environmental footprint.
We have set ourselves demanding but achievable goals covering all aspects of our business. These are far reaching across all the organisation and, in addition to energy use and carbon emissions, cover other key areas including people training, raw material procurement and supply chain management, recyclable status of packaging materials, waste management and waste reduction programmes.
We actively seek to adopt the use of Best Available Techniques (BAT’s) in our production processes whilst looking to reduce, where possible, the overall business energy consumption through new investment and modernisation of plant and equipment.
In addition to improving our use of resources, we believe Nettex can make positive contribution to other key areas impacting on environmental sustainability. With products designed to have a positive impact on animal welfare and nutrition we believe these actively contribute to maintaining healthy livestock which imparts a positive effect on the health and production efficiency. We are therefore committed to extensive research and development programmes that seek to provide innovative products and solutions to help farmers reach their own sustainability goals.
