Portals is a responsible business and actively contributing towards a better future.
The following sections outline our approach and commitment in the areas of Environment, Social and Governance.
The production of security paper requires a substantial amount of energy, water, wood pulp and cotton. Reducing our consumption of all of these resources is core to our sustainability strategy.
Certified
Portals is certified to ISO14001 standards for Environmental Management Systems and is driven to continually meet the requirements of this accreditation.
Sustainable sourcing
We have achieved a Chain of Custody certification by the PEFC, an organisation that oversees global forest management and certification systems; while also upholding our own in-house strict ethical practices including the sourcing and use of sustainably available raw materials.
Energy efficient
Portals has successfully reduced its energy usage through partnership and the implementation of the latest energy efficient technology and processes.
Water usage
Portals has invested in the latest water filtration technologies across its site. Powerful filters clean the waste by removing fibres and chemical residues, purifying the water as it completes the filtration process. The water is then able to be reused on site in the production process or is discharged back into one of the local rivers, as clean if not cleaner than it was when it was taken out at the start of the process.
Waste management
We adhere to the principles of ‘Prevent – Reuse – Recycle’. We reuse and recycle all materials where possible. We are continuously exploring new options and talking with sustainable service providers to try and implement new ways to recycle and re-use materials across our sites.
Our people and communities truly matter to us. Portals actively supports its local communities, with a large proportion of employees coming from within a ten-mile radius of the site. The company contributes to its local communities through a variety of activities and charitable fundraising, encouraging its employees to get involved and engage with local groups.
Portals also proudly puts its people and customers at the heart of the business. We value everyone working at Portals and are committed to investing in our people through training and apprenticeships. We protect their legal and human rights and are dedicated to keeping our employees safe in the workplace while also behaving in an environmentally sustainable manner.
The health of our employees is a very high priority and we are committed to ensuring both their physical and mental wellbeing. Furthermore, Portals is staunchly committed to inclusivity and diversity.
