Sustainable aggregates supplier GRS Group, has achieved PAS 2080 whole-life carbon certification.
The independent assessment, conducted by BSI, confirms that GRS’s carbon management processes meet the requirements of PAS 2080 as a material supplier, recognising the company meets the national standard for whole life carbon management in the built environment.
The Group’s business model is based on recovery and reuse of materials, as well as transport efficiency, supplying lower-carbon aggregates made from demolition waste, mining spoil and industrial by-products.
Martin Reid, who recently retired from his role as GRS chief finance officer, has led the firm’s sustainable development strategy over the past five years.
Reid said: “Achieving PAS 2080 is a huge achievement and a recognition of our team’s dedication to devising and implementing an effective plan that the business has got behind, evidenced by numerous examples of carbon reduction and resource recovery in every corner of the Group.
“With PAS 2080 certification now secured, we have strengthened our position as a sector leader in the sustainable supply of essential bulk materials, This reinforces our long-term goal to achieve zero waste and zero carbon through innovation, collaboration and responsible resource management.”
