With our SonaSpray range being made from rapidly renewable resources that sequester carbon, sustainability is at the core of all our operations. Having the most sustainable acoustic product range has led us on our environmental journey. We are ISO 14001 accredited and are proud to work closely with Positive Planet on our journey to Net Zero by 2050.

Our new HQ, the Oscar Innovation Centre, has also been awarded the Green Plaque and achieved an A+ EPC rating, defined by assessors as ‘net zero CO2 emissions’.

Our range of products has been designed with every client, project and budget in mind, providing acoustic performance with unrivalled green credentials. These not only satisfy sustainable design certification systems like BREEAM (achieving maximum points for our element of the works), SKA, Living Building Challenge, Cradle to Cradle and LEED, they also tick every box for indoor environmental and air quality; very much the current hot topic for the built environment.

The architects Gensler recommending the product to the client’s specification team who were looking for materials with very specific environmental qualities. As you would expect, this building is built to the very highest standard of WELL and to achieve LEED v4 Platinum and Living Building Challenge certification.

Product quality and consistency is also of major importance so is under continual development. When using new materials, it is easy to control this, but recycled content has to be the priority.
