Russell Roof Tiles has recently been awarded Gold status by the Supply Chain Sustainability School (SCSS).

Launched in 2012 the Supply Chain Sustainability School, is a multi-award-winning initiative that promotes a common approach to addressing sustainability within supply chains. With over 50,000 users, the school provides free practical learning and support for the UK built environment, through sustainability training, networking, e-learning modules, tailored assessments, and online resources.

The aim is to upskill those working in, or aspiring to work in, the construction sector. The school covers all aspects of the built environment, and focuses on five main topics: sustainability, offsite, BIM, Lean construction, and management.

Until now Russel held the Silver award, having worked with the organisation since the early days of its inception. 

Mark Parsons, Technical Director, said: “Described by the school as an ‘Outstanding Achievement’, our SCSS Gold Status is the highest level we can achieve and is a key accreditation, acknowledging our work with the major national house builders and construction companies.”

The SCSS is part-funded by CITB and other industry Partners, where resources are shared to inspire the UK built environment to drive positive change.

In addition to this accolade Russell Roof Tiles was the first British roof tile manufacturer to have achieved an “Excellent” rating for BES 6001 – The Responsible Sourcing of Construction Products, recognising the company’s dedication to sustainability.
