2014 Performance Highlights<br />
Expenditure on environmental and social performance has remained high; in 2014 31% of the company’s capital expenditure was on<br />
projects designed to improve environmental and / or social performance.<br />
During 2014, Kingspan <strong>Insulation</strong> maintained the demanding BES 6001 certification for responsible sourcing for all Kooltherm, KoolDuct<br />
and Therma insulation products and cavity closers manufactured at Kingspan <strong>Insulation</strong> Ltd.’s British manufacturing facilities, as well<br />
as Chain of Custody certification with the Forestry Stewardship Council (FSC) and the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest<br />
Certification (PEFC).<br />
Kingspan <strong>Insulation</strong>’s performance was recognised with a number of awards throughout 2014, including:<br />
l Herefordshire Diamond County Awards – Winner, Best Large Company – May 2014 (Award for Contribution to the Community in<br />
Herefordshire).<br />
l Herefordshire & Worcestershire Chamber of Commerce Awards – Winner, Manufacturer of the Year – July 2014.<br />
l West Midlands Chamber of Commerce Awards – Winner, Manufacturer of the Year – Sept 2014.<br />
l West Midlands Chamber of Commerce Awards – Winner, The Sustainability Award – Sept 2014.<br />
In 2014 Kingspan <strong>Insulation</strong> was selected to participate in a platform monitoring social and environmental performance, as part of<br />
Saint-Gobain’s procurement policy, as well as becoming members of Constructionline which has been adopted by a large number of the<br />
industry’s Main Contractors, avoiding the need for pre qualification documents for each individual main contractor.<br />
Action Plan<br />
l Increase use of locally sourced materials wherever possible<br />
(i.e. local to Selby and Pembridge respectively).<br />
l Achieve certification to BRE BES 6001, for both sites and all<br />
product lines, including the Kingspan TEK Building System<br />
and OPTIM-R.<br />

For the purposes of this metric, local is defined as<br />
being within a 1 hour drive of either the Pembridge or<br />
Selby sites. The raw materials used to make Kingspan’s<br />
products are not included in this metric, because no local<br />
sources of supply are available. Packaging and all other<br />
purchases are included.<br />
In addition, the company leases its cars from a non-local<br />
leasing company, however, although for that reason it is<br />
not reflected in the new metric, over 50% of the cars it<br />
leases are physically supplied by car dealerships local to<br />
the Pembridge site.<br />

and Climate Change minister, Amber Rudd.
