Why sustainability is key to SME growth

Becoming an environmental, social, and responsible sustainable business

With COP28 well underway, the world’s largest annual climate conference, held by the United Nations (UN), in Dubai, which is running from November 30th to December 12th, governments and big businesses will pledge targets to help alleviate the future damage. The pressure however is also on small businesses to follow suit to meet these targets and accelerate their journey towards sustainability.

Today, businesses are under increasing pressure to embrace sustainability as a key part of their business strategy and a driving force behind their future success. A sustainable outlook allows a company to be more environmentally friendly which can positively increase its brand value, attract the top talent to your company and give you a competitive advantage within your industry.

Sustainable manufacturing is the creation of manufactured products through economically-sound processes that minimise negative environmental impacts while conserving energy and natural resources. AML Sheffield is committed to sustainable manufacturing and has recently been involved in some very exciting Research and Development projects.

At AML we are conscious of the impact our business has particularly in relation to climate change and we are pursuing environmental, social, and responsible business practices in all areas, in particular our machining processes, how we reduce our carbon footprint, and recyclability maximisation. AML specialises in research and development projects, with precision machining capability to extremely low tolerances, novel cutting techniques and an award shortlisted smart factory.
