Sustainability / environmental stewardship

A message from our Managing Director

“Covers Timber and Builders’ Merchant are committed to conducting our business,
whilst reducing our impact on the environment, community and society.
We recognise there are many challenges within the construction sector, from
our supply chain to reducing the carbon footprint of delivering materials.
Nevertheless, throughout this bulletin, we outline to our stakeholders the
strategies we have undertaken and the work done to improve and reduce
our impact. Lots has been achieved, but there is more to be done.”

Henry Green ~ Managing Director
