Responsibility
At Fencing Colchester, our team is dedicated to upholding and continuously improving our environmental sustainability practices. While our staff will spearhead the implementation and maintenance of our environmental policy, every employee plays a vital role in ensuring its success. We encourage all team members to be proactive in identifying new opportunities to further our sustainability efforts and to take ownership of the aspects of the policy within their control.
Supply Chain
- Our suppliers are carefully chosen based on their environmental policies and credentials to ensure alignment with our sustainability goals.
- We are guided by organisations like the FSC to verify the sustainability of our supply chains and ensure the use of sustainable raw materials.

- When packaging is necessary, we opt for recyclable materials whenever possible.
Office
