Sustainability and our Environment

Sustainability is about meeting the needs of today, without adversely impacting on the needs of tomorrow.

Pacific Coilcoaters recognises the importance of a sustainable approach to our operations across the entire chain, from raw materials through to the manufacture and the distribution to our customers.

At Pacific Coilcoaters it is our objective to tie sustainability in with what we generally consider to be ‘sound’ business practices, such as increased efficiency, minimising waste and maximising resources. Sustainable business practices are a new way to direct our organisation and are applied across every aspect of our business – from strategy to waste disposal.

Pacific Coilcoaters is moving towards adopting and embracing Environmentally Sustainable practices across all its operations. We undertake to educate our employees, suppliers and Executive on our Environmental Sustainability vision.
