Sustainability

At Wernick, sustainability is embedded within all aspects of our business operations and product offering. When considering and integrating sustainability we have taken a holistic approach. We continue to innovate, collaborate and forge ahead, determined to achieve a sustainable future and leave a positive impact for future generations.

Net zero by 2040

We are implementing a strategy to become a net zero company by 2040. Our Carbon Management Plan sets the strategy and framework for the Wernick Group’s ongoing commitment to managing and reducing its carbon emissions. Specifically, it identifies the Group’s carbon baseline, sets a target for reducing this baseline, details an implementation plan and lists current carbon reduction projects.

Understanding that climate change is an urgent global crisis, our commitment goes beyond just complying with our legal requirements – it is being embedded in everything we do as one of our core company values, as laid out in ‘The Wernick Way.’

Our social values

We recognise the importance of conducting our business in a socially responsible way. Integrity, respect, transparency and accountability are at the core of everything we do. We prioritise employee well-being by fostering a fair, supportive and safe work environment that encourages professional growth.

Customer satisfaction is central to our success. We build strong, lasting relationships by delivering high-quality products and services while actively listening to and addressing client feedback.

Embedding social value into our operations is fundamental to responsible business management. Through community engagement, charitable support, and initiatives that tackle social and environmental challenges, we strive to make a meaningful, lasting impact.

Sustainable futures

Our Executive Board oversees the governance, leadership, and strategic direction of Wernick Group’s sustainability ambition. They define our goals, uphold our company values and standards, and ensure ongoing compliance.

We believe that having the right people is essential to driving positive change. That’s why we foster a respectful and rewarding work environment, investing in employee training, career development and initiatives that encourage community engagement. Through our Help in the Community initiative, we support staff in participating in local charity efforts while providing ongoing assistance to a select group of organisations each year.

Our long-standing commitment to social responsibility dates back to the birth of the company in the 1930s and it drives our success today. We value the environment, our employees and our responsibility as a company. We recognise the threat of climate change and continuously improve our sustainability practices.
