Zoo Do Sustainability – ERA Too

UK hardware brands ERA and Zoo are helping to shape progress towards the wider 2035 Sustainability Roadmap of global manufacturing group Quanex.

As part of Quanex’s Hardware Solutions division, the two brands contribute to a shared annual sustainability action plan, alongside brands Reguitti and Giesse. The plan outlines proactive measures aimed at minimising environmental impact, while supporting UK customers with innovative products and sustainability services.

Pillars

The brands will contribute to the Quanex 2035 Sustainability Roadmap through three core pillars: Sustainable Products, focused on providing innovative, sustainable solutions for customers; A Healthy Planet, aimed at delivering environmental performance throughout group operations; and Thriving People and Communities, supporting an inclusive and safe workplace, while positively contributing to the communities they serve.

Supporting these pillars, ERA and Zoo will action a range of initiatives over the next nine years, reflecting key customer and operational priorities. This will include the expansion of innovative and sustainable products and services for UK customers, alongside ongoing packaging and material improvements.

Wider priorities will also include the continued transition towards more environmentally responsible operations. In addition, the brands will also maintain a strong focus on the safety standards, fostering an inclusive workplace culture, and positive community involvement through volunteering initiatives.

United Nations

The Roadmap aligns with 11 out of the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The SDGs are objectives set out by all UN member states to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure peace and prosperity.

Lara Coutinho, the Supply Chain Sustainability Manager, at Quanex Group, said: “Sustainability at Quanex is about building long-term value through practical action, not ambition alone. With that, we’re announced our new outcome-driven 2035 roadmap.

“Combining Quanex’s global scale with ERA and Zoo’s local expertise, as a team we’re able to support our customers with solutions that meet the highest standards of performance and sustainability.”
