SUSTAINABILITY

At V.I.P. Ltd., we work in partnership with our suppliers, customers and employees to minimise our combined impact on the environment and our global natural resources.With a commitment to continual improvement, we are able to provide a safe and comfortable working environment for our team, while simultaneously minimising waste in our processes.To do this, we always operate in the most efficient way possible – such as minimising our resource use, recycling materials and even re-using them where practical.
Here’s some more of the precise steps we’re taking to increase sustainability in our operations…

PROCESSES

Ensuring efficient use of energy in our buildings and processes is key to improving our level of sustainability and reducing the pollution from our output.
Some examples of how we put this into practice are:

  • Using high efficiency melting during the casting process, with recuperative gas burners fitted to the melting furnaces
  • Installing the adequate dust and vapor extraction equipment with heat requperation to eliminate dust emissions from our sanding department, as well as oil mist extraction on all casting machines
  • Returning 100% of the dross from the melting process and swarf from machining to our material suppliers for reprocessing, as well as returning casting trimmings to our in-house melt
  • Employing recycled secondary aluminium as our raw material
  • Using fully recyclable packing materials
  • Ensuring safe handling storage and disposal of hazardous materials.

LOGISTICS

We minimise the majority of our transport use by containing most processes in-house.
Where we must outsource some operations, we endeavour to use a small network of local sub-contractors and suppliers, as well as carrying out deliveries using our own efficient delivery fleet.
For international deliveries, we aim to bulk freight onto national carriers to maximise efficiency – meanwhile, we always minimise packaging materials as much as possible and offer returnable packaging solutions to BG-based customers.

OUR TEAM

We place high priority on providing a safe and comfortable working environment for our employees, which we are continually reviewing to ensure that we are applying industry best practice.
In doing so, we are able to verify that our eco-conscious endeavours are also mindful of wellbeing in-house
