Crittall Windows has announced a significant reduction in its carbon footprint, achieving a 29 per cent decrease in market-based CO₂ emissions during 2024 compared with the previous year. 

The independent assessment, carried out by emissions management experts Carbon Footprint Ltd, confirmed total market-based emissions fell from 786.56 tonnes to 529.11 tonnes of CO₂e. Emissions per employee and per £M turnover also dropped by 26 per cent and 28 per cent respectively. As a result, Crittall has qualified to use the ‘Carbon Footprint Standard’ branding across its communications, demonstrating its ongoing commitment to responsible carbon management. 

The reductions follow sustained investment and practical improvements across the business. Crittall has introduced a fully electric/hybrid vehicle fleet, installed solar panels at its Witham manufacturing site, upgraded to energy-efficient LED lighting throughout the offices and fabrication plant, and improved material utilisation to reduce waste. 

Working with Carbon Footprint Ltd, the company has set clear targets for continued progress, aiming for a 50 per cent reduction in emissions by 2030 and 90 per cent by 2045. 

Russell Ager, Managing Director of Crittall Windows, said: “This achievement reflects a company-wide effort to operate more sustainably. Reducing our carbon footprint is an ongoing commitment, embedded in the way we design, manufacture and deliver our products.  

“Every department, from production to logistics, has contributed to these results, and we will continue to build on this progress as we move towards our 2030 and 2045 goals.” 

Crittall’s results demonstrate that practical, well-planned actions can deliver measurable environmental impact. The company is now positioned to further influence sustainability across the steel window sector, showing that high-quality manufacturing and responsible carbon management can go hand in hand.
