A RECOGNITION OF IMPACT, COMMITMENT AND BRITISH MANUFACTURING EXCELLENCE
We’re proud to share that BOAL UK Ltd has officially been awarded the Environmental & Social Value (ESV) Certification - a new standard that highlights what we’ve been doing for years: contributing to a more sustainable, responsible and resilient UK-manufacturing sector.
Developed by Made in Britain in collaboration with MAP UK & International, the certification recognises our efforts across people, planet and place. From 100% local employment to working with recycled content aluminium and supporting local communities - we’re building value that goes beyond the product.
Why this certification matters
In a market where sustainability and social impact are increasingly central - especially in public procurement - the ESV Certification helps us communicate our contribution with clarity. Not as a promise for tomorrow, but as proof of what we’re already doing today.
"This recognition shows that our choices matter. We manufacture locally, invest in people, and think circular. That’s good for our customers, our sector and our society." Emma Swann - Managering Director
WHAT WE’RE CONTRIBUTING
Ever since we proudly began extruding on British soil, we’ve kept our focus sharp: on the environment, our social responsibilities, and strong governance. Today, those principles are still embedded in every decision we make.
Carbon reduction
We select high-quality billets and optimise our extrusion process using:
- 100% renewable electricity
- plant-based cutting fluid
- smart energy management across our operations
Waste diversion
We’ve reduced non-aluminium landfill waste to under 1% and we’re committed to closed-loop recycling within the UK supply chain. Every scrap counts.
UK sourcing
We source and produce locally, ensuring short lead times, close collaboration, and a lower environmental footprint. Better for our customers, and better for the planet.
BUILDING VALUE TOGETHER
As a Made in Britain member, we’re part of a growing movement of manufacturers who operate with pride, responsibility and purpose. The ESV Certification strengthens our position and helps us make our value more visible to customers, partners and stakeholders.
