Our Commitment to Environmental Responsibility
We have long held the view that caring for the environment is a corporate responsibility. In fact, caring for the environment in which we live is a Studco® hallmark, that starts at management level and permeates through every department of our company, building an ‘environmentally aware’ business culture.
Studco has developed a comprehensive Environmental Policy in accordance with ISO14001, which includes a balanced and realistic view of real issues and a commitment to pursuing a high standard of environmental management throughout our operations to minimize the impact of our activities on the environment.
Recyclable Raw Materials
Building with steel offers many environmental advantages over other building materials. Studco’s supplier of choice for raw materials is BlueScope Steel, an Australian manufacturer with a global reputation for premium quality and environmental leadership.
- Every year for the past five years, Bluescope Steel has recycled the equivalent of 30% of their annual raw steel production output.
- Steel is the most recycled material in the world and the raw materials used in most Studco products contain a considerable amount of recycled steel.
- By volume, more steel is recycled than all other major recyclable materials combined, including aluminium, glass and paper.
Minimum Waste Manufacturing
All our products are manufactured under an ethical and stringent environmental policy, our modern manufacturing facilities and production systems are designed to create minimum wastage. Any wastage that does occur during production is recycled or diverted from landfill.
Studco regularly reviews our manufacturing practises employed to minimize any negative impacts we may have on the environment and have implemented pollution prevention practices through the efficient use of resources and the reduction of emissions and waste.
Reducing Our Carbon Footprint
In line with our commitment to environmental responsibility, we have signed up with Greenfleet to offset the carbon emissions of our corporate sales vehicles, invested in a new fleet of trucks that comply with the latest Euro-4 emission standards, made improvements to our production plants that increase productivity without raising emissions and working with community groups for the improvement of the surrounding environment.
Product Development
Studco is also developing a range of products designed to fulfil the BCA Energy Efficiency provisions. These guidelines promote building practices that reduce the amount of energy used to heat, cool and operate a building. Watch this space for more innovative products from Studco.
