DUTY OF CARE.
Ensuring your employees can see safely while driving forms part of your duty of care, and we take great responsibility and pride in helping you meet that legislation.
Equally however, we recognise our business affects the environment, both locally and globally, so we work hard to continually measure and manage that impact. Measuring our carbon footprint has helped us reduce the carbon emissions directly in our control, such as from our branches and fleet, but we look beyond our immediate business to reduce the impact of our core services too.
SUSTAINABILITY.
Autoglass® now recycles 100% of the waste glass element from damaged windscreens. Windscreens are typically made up of glass and PVB (polyvinyl butyral), and although the PVB layer can’t currently be recycled, our supply chain are finding solutions to recycling the PVB element as well.
We’re a signatory to the UN Global Compact Initiative, which guides our commitment to corporate and social responsibilities. It helps us align our operations and strategies with principles covering human rights, labour, environmental factors and anti-corruption.
REPAIR FIRST PHILOSOPHY.
If we can do so safely, we always repair a windscreen rather than replace. This strategy not only reduces our environmental impact, but also saves you money, by reducing vehicle downtime.
We’ve calculated that repairing a windscreen rather than replacing it, saves 64g/km CO2 per job
Giving back.
We’re socially responsible too. There’s a strong tradition of community activity across all of Belron®. It’s driven by the passion and energy of our people and enacted through local strategies.
Worldwide, Belron employees have raised over €11.4 million by taking part in the annual Spirit of Belron® Challenge. This supports our International charity partner, Afrika Tikkun, which works to end child poverty and youth unemployment in South Africa.
In the UK, the business contributes over £70,000 each year to the charities and organisations close to our people’shearts, including the children’s charity ‘Together for Short Lives’.
