The Evolve Group has a robust Business Continuity Plan and an Emergency Response Plan both of which are regularly updated and audited both internally and by the British Assessment Bureau as part of its annual ISO 9001 audit

Our most senior decision-makers help to define our CSR strategy and oversee its implementation, supported by a robust governance structure designed to enable the management of environmental, social, and ethical topics throughout our business. In 2019 our CSR strategy was launched – The Evolve Way: effecting change – it focuses on how we can impact the environment and our community

We strive to be the UK’s most sustainable design and manufacture company by 2024. We aim to offer services and products that help our clients become more sustainable. Sustainability is no longer just a buzz word – it’s a given – we incorporate sustainability objectives into our policies, products, services and strategies – reduction in landfill, reduction in vehicle carbon footprint, the increase in the use of plastic free signage material, elimination of single use plastic by The Evolve Group Team, initiatives with Zero Waste Scotland around the re-use of materials both internally and as a “service” to its customers.

The Evolve Group is about to enter its 3rd year of ISO 14001 accreditation and has an integral Environmental Management System in place that covers everything from internal practices (recycling, car share, bike to work, waste management) to how we consider the environment in our production processes from our delivery obligations to the types of services and products we can offer the conscientious customer.

We embed sustainability into the earliest stages of procurement. We recognise the need to drive sustainable procurement in all purchasing activities. Our suppliers are evaluated regularly on price (as you would expect) but also on what sustainable products they can bring to our table. The Modern Slavery Act is key legislation in any supply chain consideration – The Evolve Groups policy and supplier agreements reflect our commitment to eradicating modern day slavery.

We are committed to continual evaluation and improvement of our Health & Safety processes so that we can confidently say that The Evolve Group is a healthy and safe place to work.
