Great work from our Corporate Patron, Norbrook Laboratories who has published its first Sustainability Report, showcasing impressive environmental achievements and significant community impact across the region.
The report reveals that the Newry-based company recycles a remarkable 98% of its waste, with innovative solutions even for the remaining 2% non-recyclable materials.
These materials are transformed into solid recovered fuel (SRF) for use in the cement industry, providing a cleaner alternative to fossil fuels and helping reduce landfill use and emissions.
Norbrook’s commitment to environmental sustainability has yielded significant results, with the company achieving a 63% reduction in carbon emissions since 2016 through its green energy initiatives.
The report also highlights Norbrook’s commitment to the local community through its ‘We Care’ programme.
This initiative saw 450 employees volunteer 2,400 hours to help local families, resulting in food and toy hampers being delivered to over 1,000 families and 1,250 meals provided to vulnerable groups across the region.
Beyond Newry the company continues to support the development of veterinary services in Kenya and Uganda, contributing to animal health and community development in these regions.
Shane Relihan, Chief Operating Officer of Norbrook said:
“The Sustainability Report is a reflection of our values and showcases our long-term commitment to conducting our business in a way that will endure for generations to come.”
“Our employees want to work for a company that is committed to doing the right thing. For Norbrook’s customers and partners, this means having greater confidence in our impact and knowing that our commitment to quality and excellence doesn’t happen at the expense of ethical practices.”
“This Report is more than a milestone for us, it’s a promise to our stakeholders that we will always choose to do the right thing.”
The publication of this inaugural report demonstrates Norbrook’s dedication to setting new industry standards while maintaining strong connections with both local communities and global partners.
