88% Score in NQC Carbon Footprint Assessment

Demonstrating our commitment to building a more sustainable future

We are delighted to announce that Sertec has achieved an 88% score in the latest NQC Carbon Footprint Assessment, a significant milestone that reflects the progress being made across the business to embed sustainability into our operations, culture and day-to-day decision-making.

This achievement provides independent recognition of the work taking place across our sites and reinforces our commitment to responsible business practices, continuous improvement and long-term sustainability.

What is the NQC Carbon Footprint Assessment ?

NQC is a widely recognised supplier assurance and compliance platform used by major organisations and OEMs to assess suppliers against key Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) requirements.

The assessment reviews a broad range of sustainability-related topics, including:

  • Environmental management and carbon reduction
  • Energy and resource efficiency
  • Sustainable procurement practices
  • Social responsibility and employee wellbeing
  • Governance, ethics and compliance
  • Sustainability objectives, reporting and continuous improvement

The audit enables organisations to demonstrate their sustainability credentials while providing customers and stakeholders with confidence that robust policies, processes and controls are in place.

Achieving an 88% score is a strong result and reflects the collective effort being made across Sertec to strengthen our sustainability performance.

The outcome demonstrates that we have established effective processes, clear objectives and tangible evidence of activity across multiple areas of the business. It also provides valuable external validation that Sertec is making meaningful progress on its sustainability journey.

As customer expectations, industry standards and regulatory requirements continue to evolve, maintaining strong sustainability performance is increasingly important to remaining competitive within the automotive and manufacturing sectors.

A Team Effort

This achievement has been made possible through the dedication and collaboration of teams across the business. From energy reduction initiatives and environmental management activities to governance improvements and employee engagement programmes, every contribution has helped strengthen our overall performance.

Looking Ahead

While we are proud of this result, we recognise that sustainability is an ongoing journey rather than a destination.

The audit has highlighted opportunities for further development, helping us identify where we can continue to strengthen our approach and deliver even greater impact in the future.

As we move forward, Sertec remains committed to reducing our environmental footprint, supporting our people and communities, and ensuring sustainability remains a key part of how we operate and grow.

Together, we are building a stronger, more sustainable future for our business, our customers and the communities in which we operate.

Sertec Hosts Successful CBM Members Day

 

Sertec was proud to welcome industry leaders, manufacturers and suppliers to its Coleshill facility for the recent CBM Members Day, showcasing the innovation, capability and people that drive the business forward. The event marked a significant milestone, being the first time the CBM had selected a supplier to host its bi-annual Members Day.

The day featured insightful talks on People & Skills, where Sertec shared its culture-led approach to developing capability, engagement and future talent through its PROUD strategy. Visitors also took part in Gemba Walks across the facility, seeing first-hand the teamwork, operational excellence and continuous improvement mindset embedded throughout the business.

A highlight of the event was the showcase of Sertec’s latest Body-in-White and EV programmes, demonstrating the engineering expertise and manufacturing capability supporting the next generation of vehicles. Behind every product on display were the talented teams whose commitment, knowledge and innovation continue to drive Sertec forward.

The success of the event was a true team effort, with Operations, HR, Learning & Development, HSE and support teams all playing a vital role. Sertec’s Early Careers Talent (ECT) team were instrumental in delivering a seamless visitor experience, proudly showcasing the future talent pipeline that continues to strengthen the organisation.

It was also an honour to welcome back Steve Morley, CBM President, to Wincaster House. Having spent 23 years with Sertec, his reflections on the challenges and opportunities facing the manufacturing sector provided valuable insight for attendees. The business was equally delighted to host Geraldine, CBM Chief Executive, whose leadership and facilitation helped bring the day to life and foster meaningful discussion across the industry.

The event reflected what makes Sertec unique – a culture built on pride, teamwork and continuous development, where world-class products are delivered by world-class people.
