Our Sustainability policy
As a responsible and leading chemical distribution company, Tennants Distribution understands the need to reduce the environmental and societal impact of our operations, activities and products, playing our part in reducing the effects of climate change and creating a better World for future generations. In our role as a distributor we act as a vital link in the supply chain between chemical manufacturers, who design and produce the products that we bring to market, and our customers who use those products in their processes and for the production of their goods.
The core values of the Tennant Group – trust, integrity, patience and accountability – underpin all of our business activities and support our sustainability goals.
Our sustainability policy focuses on the three pillars of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG).
