Stocksigns Achieves Supply Chain Sustainability School (SCSS) Gold
This forms a key pillar of the Stocksigns progressive CSR policy, demonstrating our commitment to sustainable business practices and helping to reduce the environmental impact of signage manufacturing.
Launched in 2012, the Supply Chain Sustainability School is a learning platform that aims to upskill those working within the built environment sector, offering training and resources shaped by industry Partners and sector needs.
Stocksigns has been providing high-quality signage to the construction, facilities management, rail and manufacturing sectors since 1955. Many of our company’s key customers within these sectors are currently working towards their own sustainability goals and are beginning to look to their supply chains for further carbon emission reductions.
As such, we recognised that gaining additional knowledge and insight is imperative in aligning our own sustainability journey with that of our customers. So naturally, we signed up as members of the school.
While it is certainly beneficial to make operational and procedural changes that reduce carbon emissions, the real key factor in creating effective change comes from members of staff within your business.
By utilising the resources available on the School’s website, we were able to develop a comprehensive training plan for our internal teams. These online resources were invaluable in conducting various training sessions, including an Overview of ESG/CSR, Sustainability as a Sales Tool, Social Value training, and The Challenges of Sustainable Construction.
As a result of this training, the staff here at Stocksigns Ltd are now more engaged with the company’s sustainability and social value initiatives.
“Achieving gold level membership from the SCSS has been a crucial step. Introducing operational and procedural changes are all very well, but we also need employee awareness and engagement to have a real, lasting impact. The resources available through the SCSS have really helped us to educate and train employees across our teams.” – Danny Adamson, Managing Director

Charity Fundraising and Volunteering
We know the value of giving back to the community. Every year the team takes part in fundraising events, including challenging hikes and climbs and sleeping rough to raise funds for the homeless.
Our staff also have the opportunity to take part in our quarterly volunteering initiative, helping out both around our local area around Stocksigns HQ and with The Children’s Trust.
