Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Eurocell PLC, a UK manufacturer of PVC building products, actively recycles end-of-life PVC, a core business aspect aimed at reducing landfill waste and conserving virgin materials. This initiative is a key differentiator in its commitment to Planet-Friendly Business and Zero Waste & Sustainable Products. However, critics point to the inherent environmental impacts of PVC production, including its resource intensity and energy consumption. For other ethical areas such as Fair Pay, Ethical Sourcing, or Honest Business practices, reports suggest insufficient public evidence to determine specific performance or initiatives.

Better Health for All

0

Eurocell PLC's core products, such as thermally efficient windows and doors, provide modest health benefits by minimizing heat loss and enhancing natural light in buildings.

1
Improved natural light can reduce fatigue, stress, and eye strain, contributing to mental wellbeing.
2
The company's recycling operations also generate significant positive health externalities, saving approximately 47,000 tonnes of carbon in 2022 compared to using virgin PVC, which indirectly reduces pollution and improves community health.
3
Most other KPIs under 'Better Health for All' are not applicable as the company's primary business activities do not directly involve healthcare, health product provision, or public health initiatives. While Eurocell implements internal employee wellbeing programs, safety training, and mental health support, these fall outside the scope of this value, which focuses on external public health impact. Similarly, the company does not produce health-related products requiring price accessibility, manage sensitive health data, or engage in clinical trials or public health education.

Fair Money & Economic Opportunity

0

Eurocell PLC is a manufacturer and distributor of PVC building products, not a financial institution.

1
The company does not offer lending, deposit, or other financial services to consumers. Consequently, all KPIs related to financial products, pricing, fees, lending compliance, customer debt, financial literacy, and wealth-building outcomes for financial service users are not applicable to its core business model. The company's reported initiatives, such as employee Sharesave schemes, internal diversity efforts, and product-related energy savings, do not fall under the scope of financial inclusion or economic opportunity for underserved populations as defined by this value's rubric.
