Bedrock Tiles has announced that the company has achieved the status of becoming the first in the UK tiling industry to be certified as Carbon Neutral. 

It has been calculated that Bedrock Tiles emits 52 tonnes of Carbon while conducting its operational tile supplying activities over the course of, a year. To offset their carbon emissions, Bedrock chose to send their contribution to hydro and forestation projects.

According to the Northampton-based tile supplier, the Carbon Neutral Britain Certification process was extremely intense and thorough. It took Bedrock Tiles three months to collate and present all the data to the auditing company for scopes 1, 2 and 3. It then took a further three weeks for that data to be analysed and reported back.

The certification is an annual requirement and Bedrock has now incorporated it into the operational procedures along with factoring the costs into the company’s budgets. 

Pete Brown, Founder of Bedrock Tiles, said: “We cannot wait to continue the good work that we’ve started next year and into the future. 

“Whilst it is quite a process to become certified, it is imperative that we all get on board. Bedrock would like to extend an invitation to fellow businesses to get in touch with us to discuss, what we did to get there and encourage as many other, forward-thinking businesses to do the same. 

“Bedrock can always help you find perfect sustainable tiles, at our award-winning showroom in Moulton Park, or simply offer you some sound advice on tiles for your projects if you need it. Please feel free to get in touch, with the knowledge that all deliveries made by Bedrock are now carbon neutral.”
