Achieving Carbon Neutral status has been a key objective for Roman over recent years, with the manufacturer only using recycled aluminium and ensuring all packaging is recycled cardboard.
Managing director, advisory at the Carbon Trust Hugh Jones said: “We have worked with Roman Limited this year to verify their 2019 and 2020 Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions in accordance with ISO 14064-3.
“Roman Limited have met the requirements under PAS 2060 and we are delighted to certify their emissions and operations at Durham as carbon neutral as part of their sustainability journey.”
CEO of Roman David Osborne added: “We are extremely proud to have achieved Carbon Neutral status.
“This is already extremely important for us in the hotel and project sector; increasingly so in housebuilding; and will hopefully become ever more important in the retail sector.
“As the leading British manufacturer we give huge focus to sustainability and further breakthroughs will be coming over the next few years.”
