Environmental, Social and Governance

Environmental and corporate responsibility

Our commitment to growth and change

Overview

Our business provides the energy solutions that help power our built world. From power transformers to switchgear and engineering solutions, for generations, the BRUSH brand has stood for engineering excellence.  

While continuing to provide the innovative solutions we are renowned for, we must also deliver on our environmental sustainability commitments. 

Our commitments encompass every part of our business. From product manufacturing and our supply chain, to our ethics and the business culture we create; across the business we are committed to integrating environmental sustainability, social responsibility, and effective corporate governance into every aspect.  

Being recognised as a business that operates ethically, and with a strong sense of corporate responsibility, is the cornerstone of our culture. As such, we are a socially responsible employer, fostering an environment of diversity and inclusion.

Sustainability Overview

BRUSH has a strong commitment to reducing its footprint in terms of environmental responsibility, which is reflected in product lines such as CRYNO and transformers.

These products help create an environment that supports the transition to a low carbon economy through their role in enabling grid decarbonisation. The long-life expectancy of the products and solutions means that there is little or no requirement for early replacement and therefore resources are conserved.

In terms of responsible resource usage and waste reduction, we work to minimise the number of materials used throughout the entire lifecycle of the products and solutions that we provide.
