Sustainability

We’re committed to designing and building responsibly. Every project is an opportunity to reduce impact, use smarter materials, and create with the planet in mind.

Designing and building with sustainability at our core

At Cake Industries, we take a proactive approach to sustainability and recognise the urgency of the climate emergency. We reduce material use through integrated design, prioritise low-carbon materials, and collaborate with clients to find more sustainable solutions.

We’re proud to be one of the first manufacturers to include embodied carbon calculations within our drawing approval packages, helping clients and architects make informed decisions about the environmental impact of their structures.

As a signatory to Structural Engineers Declare a Climate Emergency, we also provide free CPD sessions on embodied carbon and offer consultancy to help design teams assess and reduce carbon impact throughout a project’s lifecycle.

Sustainability Policy

We commit to:

Work closely with our clients and collaborators to minimise the environmental impact of our projects.
Include a report covering the embodied carbon dioxide content of the materials used in the design package for every project.
Set annual targets for the reduction of embodied carbon dioxide within our projects.
Minimise the production of waste by careful design, and maximise the reuse and recycling of waste and by products of the manufacturing process.
Minimise our energy use within the production facility, and ensure that energy used is procured from companies promoting the use of renewable sources.
Source responsibly from small and local suppliers to reduce transportation emissions.
