EFT Group – Respecting the Three Pillars of Sustainability

At EFT, we consider the future when making our decisions about the present. As a family business we are only too aware of the limited resources we use when delivering our services. We want to be sure that our Children and future generations have resources available to meet their own needs.

Economic Development

As a business we try to make a difference beyond our normal legislative requirements. This sometimes means doing things differently. Only by making a difference at our regional level through sustainable employment and supply chain opportunities can we all begin to make a difference nationally or globally.

Social Development

Our business impacts on many Customers. For instance, we maintain Life safety and security systems in around 50,000 homes across the North and Central UK. We often provide services to the most vulnerable in society. Every day we can make a difference to our customers health and wellbeing.

Both EFT Construction and EFT Systems contribute significantly to sustainable housing and the use of sustainable materials. From an education perspective we train and encourage our people to identify environmental sustainability initiatives both in the work place and at home.

Environmental Protection

Protecting the environment makes sense, our contribution is wide ranging and includes:

• Treating waste as a resource
• Office and Site recycling, reuse and repurposing
• Optimising energy and water use in the office and on site
• Segregating non-reusable waste
• Providing ECI advice on sustainability, carbon (Co2), water and energy efficiency
