Building a smarter, cleaner future for Electronics Manufacturing

For over 40 years, EC Electronics has been committed to responsible manufacturing. Our sustainability strategy connects innovation, people and the planet – shaping a future where performance and purpose go hand in hand.

Our Commitment

We believe that sustainability is about action, not aspiration. We’re embedding Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) principles across every division, ensuring our operations contribute positively to the environment, our communities and our customers.

For over 40 years, EC Electronics has built electronics designed to perform, last and make a difference. As a trusted manufacturing partner, we understand our responsibility to reduce environmental impact and operate ethically at every stage – from design to delivery.

Sustainability isn’t just a project – it’s central to how we innovate, manufacture and collaborate – shaping the way we build for the future.

Environmental Responsibility

We’re reducing our footprint through smarter energy use, waste reduction and responsible global operations.

  • 92% of waste diverted from landfill

  • Group-wide waste reduction plan in progress

  • GHG emissions strategy underway

  • UK fleet to be 100% electric by 2026

  • Measuring renewables vs non-renewables energy use

Our facilities are becoming more energy-efficient every year, and all divisions are moving toward ISO 14001 certification as part of our long-term roadmap.

Sustainable Product Design

We design and manufacture products for longevity, energy efficiency and responsible use of materials.

  • All components are RoHS and REACH compliant.
  • We build for reparability and recyclability, minimising waste through smarter design and modularity.
  • ESG principles guide our product development process, ensuring every design decision supports reduced impact over the product lifecycle.

Circular Economy

We’re committed to extending the life of our products and materials.

  • We recover and reuse components wherever possible.
  • Scrap metals and plastics are segregated and reprocessed through certified recycling partners.
  • By 2027, we aim to showcase zero-waste best practices across all divisions through measurable waste reduction data and enhanced recycling programmes.

Responsible Supply Chain

We take accountability for the entire supply chain.

  • A detailed ESG supplier questionnaire helps us assess and engage suppliers on sustainability.
  • We’ve documented our supply chain and are conducting supplier audits to ensure fair labour, safety and ethical practices.
  • By 2027, our top five suppliers per division will be audited and working collaboratively toward shared sustainability targets.
  • We will ensure fair wages and safe working conditions across the full supply chain by 2030 and achieve full ESG transparency and traceability by 2031.

People and Governance

Sustainability is built on people, ethics, and accountability.

  • We record, track, and report our employee gender split to support inclusion and equity.
  • We’ve implemented anti-bribery and whistleblowing policies, and adopted a company travel policy to manage emissions responsibly.
  • We regularly perform incident reviews to maintain high safety and governance standards.
  • We’re committed to upskilling, mental health and wellbeing programmes, with expanded initiatives planned by 2029.

By 2028, ESG metrics will be integrated into management performance reviews, ensuring sustainability remains at the core of leadership accountability.

Our Road Ahead

We recognise that true sustainability is a continuous process, one that demands commitment, transparency and innovation.

Our ESG Mission Statement will formalise this vision, uniting our divisions under one purpose: to lead by example in responsible electronics manufacturing.

Together with our partners, employees and customers, we’re shaping a future where technology and sustainability thrive side by side.
