Sustainability Strategy
Our sustainability strategy focuses on five priority areas where we can accelerate progress, through targeted investment of capital and resource.
Water - Managing a precious resource wisely
Without water we cannot, today, make thread. It is a vital and shared resource and we need to make sure we use it efficiently, particularly as water is scarce in some parts of the world.
Energy - Renewables for a sustainable future
The use of fossil fuels and the associated greenhouse gas emissions contribute to climate change. We have a responsibility to reduce our contribution and mitigate these risks.
Effluent & Emissions - Working for a cleaner world
At Coats, we aim to ensure that the water we discharge is safe and will not damage the environment around our factories.
Social - Creating safe and sustainable places to work
We are operating in changing times, transitioning from an industrial to a digital world. We must adapt and evolve our culture, developing our people and skills to support this change.
Living sustainably - Protecting the planet
To ensure growth, now and in the future, it is important that we use resources efficiently and explore innovative solutions. We will use more sustainable raw materials and reduce our waste.
