Steel window and door manufacturer Crittall Windows has achieved a 29% decrease in its CO2 emissions during 2024. The independent assessment, carried out by Carbon Footprint, confirmed total market-based emissions fell from 786.56 tonnes to 529.11 tonnes of CO2 e. Emissions per employee and per £m turnover also dropped by 26% and 28% respectively. Crittall is now qualified to use the ‘Carbon Footprint Standard’ across its communications, showing its commitment to responsible carbon management.
The reductions follow sustained investment and improvements across the business. Crittall has introduced a fully electric/hybrid vehicle fleet, installed solar panels at its Witham manufacturing site, upgraded to LED lighting throughout the offices and plant, and improved material utilisation to reduce waste.
The company has set clear targets for continued progress, aiming for a 50% reduction in emissions by 2030 and 90% by 2045.
Russell Ager, Managing Director of Crittall Windows, said: “This achievement reflects a company-wide effort to operate more sustainably. Reducing our carbon footprint is embedded in the way we design, manufacture and deliver our products. Every department has contributed, from production to logistics, and we will build on this progress as we move towards our goals.”
Crittall’s results demonstrate that practical, well-planned actions can deliver a measurable environmental impact. The company is now positioned to further influence sustainability across the steel window sector, showing that high-quality manufacturing and responsible carbon management can go hand in hand.
