SUSTAINABILITY
WBT recognise that it simply isn’t enough to be ‘Green’
these days. The company is mindful of:
a Socially and ethically responsible purchasing
b Minimising environmental impact through
the supply chain
c Delivering economically sound solutions
d Good business practice
Focusing on ‘prevention rather than cure’, WBT
carry out the majority of QA/QC inspections as close
to the manufacturing process as possible in order to
minimise Carbon Footprint; it would pointless and very
environmentally ‘expensive’ to ship container-loads of PPE
product from the Far East to the UK, only to find that upon
inspection and testing, the products do not conform to
standard.
