Our environmental stewardship includes minimising our own businesses impacts on the planet, as well as providing smart solutions that underscore the importance to our customers, stakeholders, and end users. As an example of our environmental credentials, we have been independently assessed and attained ISO14001 certification, the global environmental management standard.
Our efforts
Renewable Energy
The expansion of solar capacity marks a clear step forward in our wider net zero journey.
Each installation brings us closer to embedding clean energy at the core of our production
processes, reducing emissions while supporting the long-term sustainability of our operations.
ATG® Group of companies solar capacity 2025: 99.866 kWh (per month).
Solid Waste Management
We have implemented in-house waste segregation and recovery systems, allowing us to recycle significant volumes
of production waste and steadily cut landfill contributions. Our ambition is clear: zero waste to landfill. On average, we are already
recycling 49% of rubber waste each month, keeping valuable materials in circulation.
Innovation with Purpose
Every innovation at ATG® starts with a simple question: how can this make work safer, smarter, and more sustainable?
In 2024-2025, we expanded our circular initiatives by:
- Repurposing glove production waste into recycled rubber footwear.
- Developing eco-paints from recycled rubber streams.
- Introducing green packaging solutions, including FSC®-certified cardboard and reduced formats.
Contribution to Increased Forest Cover
We have now established a plantation program whereby we are planting trees to increase forest cover.
Why?
Because every tree that is planted is able to absorb, when mature, around 21kg of carbon dioxide a year. In addition to reducing the amount of GHGs produced per manufactured glove, our goal is to offset our emissions and over time become 100% carbon neutral.
Sustainability through extended use
Our gloves are designed to be laundered and reused so that the end user can extract every piece of technology out of them. This provides an economic benefit to the end-users as they don't need disposing prematurely and reduces the amount of waste.
It also reduces the amount of materials required to manufacture a new glove and the energy/greenhouse gases, required for that process.
We believe that all safety gloves should be designed, and certified, for re use.
