Sustainability
As a family business, sustainable and socially responsible entrepreneurship has always been part of our way of working. Contributing to a live able planet is therefore not a goal in itself for Forbes Metals; it is a means to give future generations a bright future.
Our Sustainable Ambitions
Investing in society, less CO2 emissions and circular production processes are key words here. Forbes Estates initially focuses on Goals 8, 9, 11, 12, 13 and 17.
Circular Economy
Metals like aluminium are infinitely recyclable. Recycling aluminium uses only 5% of the energy used to make new aluminium from raw ore.
Forbes Estates Metals has been recycling metal since 1937, contributing to a circular economy.
We work with our strategic partners to apply circular principles to our work and partake in closed-loop recycling projects.
Energy Use and Carbon Emissions
Reducing energy use and carbon emissions is essential for a liveable planet.
We invest in renewable energy projects and sustainable procurement.
Forbes Estates will operate completely climate neutral by 2050 and contribute to European Green Deal.
