Sustainability overview
Portland Stone from Albion Stone is one of the most environmentally sensitive building materials available anywhere in the world. We are proud to have the lowest verified Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) that we are aware of, at just 44.7kg CO₂ per tonne. Since 2015, we have moved entirely to mining rather than open cast quarrying, a transition that has dramatically reduced the impact on the local environment and landscape. Our commitment to sustainable practices is further demonstrated through our BES 6001 certification for responsible sourcing and our ISO 14001 accreditation for environmental management. A significant portion of our factory's energy—up to 35%—is generated by an extensive array of solar panels installed on the roof. Reducing carbon emissions is a major focus for Albion Stone, and we are dedicated to maintaining our position as the industry leader in low-carbon natural stone production.
