Using modernised production methods that emphasise sustainable building solutions and adhere to the most stringent production requirements, Michelmersh guarantees high quality product standards with a low ecological footprint.
Sustainability is one of Michelmersh's four company core values. With a continuous programme of investment, the Group has shown a strong commitment to sustainability and efficiency improvements.
With over 500 acres of land, Michelmersh encourages the re-introduction of habitats and wildlife to its former quarry sites, to allow nature reserves, lakes and natural spaces to flourish. All its UK and European plants adhere to strict environmental codes of practice with well-maintained clay resources which are stringently operated in cohesion with their surroundings.
Sustainability is key for Michelmersh as it strongly upholds its responsibilities to nurture our land and the environment around us. Through rolling investment programs its modernised plants are streamlined and automated, maximising efficiency and product output.
100% of UK products are supplied from factories certified under the BES 6001 Responsible Sourcing Standard, ISO 14001 Environmental, ISO 50001 Energy and ISO 9001 Quality Management Systems. 100% of Floren products are independantly certified to national standards.
Michelmersh's corporate goals include:
The Group aims to provide training, security and career progression for all of its employees, whilst acting as a responsible corporate citizen and keeping stakeholder value at the forefront of every decision.
The Board and senior managers set and monitor performance and improvement targets for all departments, while providing the guidance, resources, information and training necessary for employees to succeed in delivering our objectives.
All employees have a part to play in our management systems and are encouraged to bring forward ideas that will contribute to the continual improvement of our products and processes. We also expect contractors and suppliers to have due regard to the principles and objectives of this policy.
The company is committed to the protection of the environment, biodiversity, ecosystems, and minimisation of pollution. We will ensure compliance with all legal, regulatory and other obligations; report any breaches transparently; and will monitor, control and report our relevant greenhouse gas emissions in line with our regulated targets.

Energy performance will be a key factor in the design, purchase and operation of equipment, vehicles and services.
