Environmental & Social Responsibility

RVT Group are well-known for protecting people's health on site, but we are also passionate about corporate social responsibility and protecting the environment.

We have therefore developed an ESG strategy that aligns with the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals. We seek to reduce the impact that our operations have on the environment, while building positive relationships with our staff, customers, suppliers, local community and the industries we serve.

ESG

Our Commitment to Sustainability

We have made a considerable number of positive changes over the years, but we know there is still more to be done!

At RVT, we follow the environmental waste hierarchy, this means that we always try to prevent waste by repairing and reusing equipment before we recycle it.
The majority of our emissions are generated through transport. As such, we have opened a North & South distribution centre to reduce our transport mileage. We also try to work with environmentally sustainable logistic companies.
RVT provide water treatment systems, diesel particulate filters, solar powered batteries and many more solutions that are designed to protect the environment. We continue to invest a significant amount of capital into R&D every year.
Each year we calculate our scope 1 and scope 2 carbon emissions and partner with Carbon Neutral Britain to offset these emissions via The Woodland Fund™. We are proud to have achieved carbon neutrality and are currently working towards Net Zero.
RVT staff take part in a number of fundraisers that enable us to donate to local and national charities that support those in need, and protect our environment. In 2024, we donated over £500,000 to charity!
We take our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) seriously, and we believe we have a duty to share our technical expertise. As such, we offer a number of free webinars, conferences and online resources to help educate the industry about best practice hazard control measures. We also volunteer our time to support independent bodies such as the ‘Health in Construction Leadership Group’ (HCLG).
We run an internal training academy, to ensure staff are given education and career development opportunities. Furthermore, our mental health first aiders run regular activities to support staff wellbeing, and our internal comms team organise ‘Great Place to Work’ events to ensure that everyone feels included and valued.

Year on year, RVT continues to have a positive impact on people, communities and the environment. Our accounts are audited annually, and we work with third party consultants to calculate our carbon metrics and decarbonisation activity.
