Morris Lubricants Celebrates Silver Award with Continuing Commitment to Sustainability
Over several years, Morris Lubricants has been developing an action plan in a continued effort to become more sustainable and cement the company’s commitment to minimising its impact on the environment.
The company, which has been manufacturing quality oils and lubricants since 1869, had previously achieved an EcoVadis Bronze rating in sustainability in 2022. Through hard work, and improvements throughout the business focusing on the EcoVadis categories such as: environment, labour & human rights, ethics and sustainable procurement, Morris Lubricants has improved on last year’s assessment. The company is therefore proud to announce that it has now achieved the Silver award rating for 2023.
Morris Lubricants’ Executive Chairman, Andrew Goddard, is an established voice in the oil and lubricants industry following a 2-year period as President of the UK Lubricants Association (UKLA) and is very proud of the latest Ecovadis award. Andrew was keen to state “The lubricants industry must be seen as part of the solution and not part of the problem as the world evolves to a greener, more sustainable future.”
Andrew has warned that the lubricants industry faces significant challenges to its products, customers and markets in the near future but backed the sector’s record of innovation to evolve with the changing times to create new ideas and opportunities.
This amongst others is one of the key reasons that Morris Lubricants continue to develop an action plan and strategy to operate and manufacture in a more sustainable manner.
The aim will now be to progress even further with sustainable advances at Morris Lubricants moving from a Silver EcoVadis award to a Gold.
Andrew continues, “There is a need to continue to rise to the challenge and aim to surpass our recent achievements. We therefore have a strong emphasis on continuous improvement, so that Morris Lubricants progresses it achievements year on year. Businesses need to be flexible and forward-thinking when discussing aspects of sustainability and future strategy.
Morris Lubricants and its employees are committed to change and so I have no doubt that we will see progress in the future”.
After achieving the Silver award, the company has already begun working hard to attain the gold award in 2024.
