Sustainability & responsibility

RESPONSIBLE MANUFACTURING
FOR A SUSTAINABLE
FUTURE.

Frank Dudley Limited has always believed in doing business the right way – looking after our people, our community and our environment. As a family business with over seventy-five years of history in Birmingham, we take our responsibilities seriously – to the customers who depend on us, the people who work with us and the world we all share.

Our sustainability and responsibility programme builds on the values Frank Dudley established when he founded the business in 1948 – values of quality, honesty and genuine care for people. Today, we apply those values to the environmental and social challenges facing manufacturing – working continuously to reduce our footprint, improve our practices and support the communities around us.

We believe that sustainable manufacturing and commercial success are not in conflict. Done properly, they reinforce each other – and that is the approach we take.

WORKING TOWARDS A
MORE SUSTAINABLE FDL

We are honest about where we are on our sustainability journey. We have made meaningful progress and we have more to do, and we are committed to making that progress transparently and genuinely, not just in our communications.

Energy & emissions

We are actively reviewing our energy sources and consumption patterns, with the goal of reducing carbon emissions across our facility. Investment in more energy-efficient press equipment and facility improvements is ongoing.

Circular economy

We are committed to maximising the recyclability of materials we use and minimising landfill waste. All metal scrap from our operations is recycled through certified processors.

People & community

We continue to invest in apprenticeships and skills development, supporting the next generation of manufacturing professionals in Birmingham. Community partnerships and charitable support remain an important part of who we are.
